God Take Me Out Of LA

I need the snow to fall on me I need four weeks of rain I need to feel grass under my feet and when I feel that pain I need the sky to darken up and show me it knows my name I can't see the sunshine one more time God, take me out of LA I miss my mama and the way she looks That one hazy memory Whether it's true don't matter to me It's real and I believe And when I go home, you know that it hurts to hear them say When he goes to Hollywood Could God take me out of LA? God, won't you take me out of LA? Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the one who wanted to stay I'm not built for this, I can't handle it But I still can't get away God, take me out of LA I hate it here, is what I'd say If I lost half of my mind The desert air don't agree with me But mostly it's working out fine Except for when I want to know something like the Earth Except for when I'm feeling cursed Screaming, God, take me out of LA 'Round every corner, I run into you all over again And maybe we'll always fight like this But can I just pretend That I'd lose you on foot, running square away from this place Even though you'd show up anyway Oh God, take me out of LA God, won't you take me out of LA? Feels strange to ask 'cause I'm the one who wanted to stay Not built for this, can't handle it But I still can't get away I'm so lonely in this place Please, God, take me out of LA When I'm gone, I'll miss the light How it felt across my face I miss how there was no urgency Should I go, or should I stay? But that right there is the problem I couldn't make one single choice And at the end of the day I'll always say, God took me out of LA
