Louisa Melcher – L.A. Winter Lyrics

Artist: Louisa Melcher
Song: L.A. Winter

December in l.a., unseasonably cold
Like the minutes that we shared out of my old winter coat
You used to pull the hood over my eyes
Looked down at me and laugh with that just for a smile

And i felt like a skater in a snow globe gliding round and round again
But it doesn’t snow like that on the west coast
And i heard you’re calling her your best friend
January 8th, i put on the dress you hate

Laugh at my own jokes
Fake a smile for my date
How do i love myself and not love you?
You made mе too specific to be known by someonе new

And you used to say that i suck at flirting when i couldn’t meet your eye
My date says he finds the dress alluring
And i hate him ’cause he’s tasteless or a liar
They say it’s never the same love twice

But that sounds like a threat not a promise
They say i’ve got the life back in my eyes
But i’d kill it again if i’m honest
’cause you can’t say love is sacrifice

You can’t say that it’s worth the price
Then turn around and say i overpaid
’cause i would give all that and more
I’d drop my ego at your door

For you to let me in and let me stay
I can’t take one more winter in l.a
January 12th, at my brother’s 18th
He’s older than i was when you first met me

And i realize that i was just a child
You shaped me in your image
Well, i looked on beguiled
And when i reflected you to yourself

You didn’t like what you saw
But i sat there smiling on your toy shelf
You can play with me whenever you want
On the 20th day, i try to socialize

But you feel so alone
When there’s no one on your side
We used to go to parties as a team
When i made people laugh you’d look at me and beam

You listed my flaws devoutly when you had nothing to gain
You knew all the worst things about me
And you wanted me all the same
They say it’s never the same love twice

But that sounds like a threat not a promise
I wanted to be someone you admired
But i’d settle to be loved if i’m honest
’cause you can’t say love is sacrifice

You can’t say that it’s worth the price
Then turn around and say i overpaid
’cause i would give all that to you
I’d let you pay me with the truth

For you to let me in and let me stay
I can’t take one more winter in l.a
Three years back and you don’t think i heard
When you told your friend “i’m gonna marry that girl”

But i heard, i called and told my mom
Then i walked around the city to my favorite song
But now that song’s about you
Is there nothing i can keep

When it comes on in the car i let it play through
Then i pull off the 5 and i weep
End of the month and it hits me one night
I wanna call you up and finally finish that fight

I never got to tell you what i thought
I was silently self-righteous, now i wish i fought
Give me one good match with the gloves off
I deserve it it’s my right

Wanted you to have a scar you couldn’t brush off
When you hit me was the only time you cried
And i do call you up, but i don’t start a fight
I’m just a fond character from a past life

I stick to the script
I give you space
I ask a loaded question, you answer with grace
We both have selective amnesia

I think all our baggage is lost
All my proof what we went through is human
I’m coming to peace, but it comes at a cost
We never stood a chance at keeping boundaries

Always knew each other’s thoughts by heart
I’ve never known a person so profoundly
But if you don’t change together, you’re changing apart
They say it’s never the same love twice

But that sounds like a threat not a promise
Would never fall so hard if i never jumped so high
But it felt like f#cking flying if i’m honest
’cause you can’t say love is sacrifice

You can’t say that it’s worth the price
Then turn around and say i overpaid
I proved myself in trial by fire
I lit my childhood on your pyre

I thought you’d let me in and let me stay
I can’t take one more winter in l.a
