Lyrics

Intro:
(say you lost your heart)

V1:
44 in LA, so yeah we’re freezing
I drive Mt Washington to pick you up
I hate these narrow steep streets
Is this your house? I see a lot of Japanese decor through the window.
Shit, I hope this is your house.
It’s too dark to see the numbers.
I knock, I text, you come, we hug.

V2:
We drive to the house party
I only know the birthday girl, Fei Fei.
Fei Fei is in a band and our bands played a couple months ago.
She’s really hot and really nice, but tonight’s about you
We’ve been friends for so long
But our arms touched watching Die Hard last month
And it’s like a switch went off: erika, you want erika
I don’t wanna fuck with a good thing but I also can’t stop thinking about you
And thinking about how light I feel around you
We park, walk the stairs, I joke about my Lasik eyes
There’s a no-shoes policy so thank God I’ve got nice socks on.
Yours are cute. Mine are just black.

(say you lost your heart)

V3:
I make us drinks, we take some shots, the party’s getting loose and the fun becomes more fun and the music gets more loud.
We drift and that’s all good, I like that we can hold our own but
You’re off getting $10 tattoos with some dude who does licensing for Jimmy Hendrix. I guess you’re impressed.

(say you lost your heart)

V4:
I wanna hang with Shane.
I wanna hang with Shane.
I have to leave
I have my church gig in the morning.
You stay.
