40 In Los Angeles Lyrics

Rod Kim 40 In Los Angeles

Oh oh

I used to try and make every song sound perfect
Just wanted say everything I mean and make it worth it
Spent most of my days being everyone's less famous friend
A footnote in their story but happy with who I am

If you think about it
Yeah think about it

I turned 10 in Indiana
20 a St. Louis transplant
30 at a beach on the Atlantic
So it just makes sense…I'll turn 40 in Los Angeles
Oh oh

The big mistake that everybody makes is
Thinking anything good or bad will last
‘Cuz even my worst of days will drift away…‘til I forget
And I'm still holdin' out for the best

If I knew then
Could tell myself back then

You'll be 10 in Indiana
20 a St. Louis transplant
30 at a beach on the Atlantic
Just hang on kid…you'll be 40 in Los Angeles

Oh oh

Maybe I'll have a mid life crisis
Buy a fancy car I can't afford
Have a rebound friend-with-benefits
And let people talk all about me how they want

I know who I am and who I was

10 in Indiana
20 a St. Louis transplant
30 at a beach on the Atlantic
But I made it…turning 40 in Los Angeles
Oh oh
Oh oh
