[Verse 2]
Why you rolling waves over me now? That's all I need, dreaming
Waiting on LA to come find me, be forgiven

I wanna see LA in your eyes when I'm leaving with your love
[Chorus]
I will always think about you
That's why I'm calling you back, 'cause I got to run soon
[Outro]
I will always think about you
That's why I'm calling you back on my way through
