LA Who Am I To Love You (From The Audiobook “Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass”) Lyrics – Lana Del Rey
Singer: Lana Del Rey
Title: LA Who Am I To Love You (From The Audiobook “Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass”)
I left my city for San Francisco
Took a free ride off a billionaire’s jet
L.A I’m from nowhere who am I to love you
L.A I’ve got nothing who am I to love you
When I’m feeling this way and I’ve got nothing to offer
L.A not quite the city that never sleeps
Not quite the city that wakes but the city that dreams for sure
If by dreams you mean in nightmares
L.A I’m a dreamer
But I’m from nowhere who am I to dream
L.A I’m upset I have complaints listen to me
They say I came from money and I didn’t
And I didn’t even have love and it’s unfair
L.A I sold my life rights for a big check and I’m upset
And now I can’t sleep at night and I don’t know why
Plus I love Zac
So why did I do that when I know it won’t last
L.A I picked San Francisco
Because the man who doesn’t love me lives there
L.A I’m pathetic but so are you can I come home now
Daughter to no one table for one
Party of thousands of people
I don’t know at Delilah where my ex-husband works
I’m sick of this but can I come home now
Mother to no one private jet for one
Back home to the Tudor house
That borned a thousand murder plots
Hancock Park it’s treated me very badly and resentful
The witch on the corner the neighbor nobody wanted
The reason for Garcetti’s extra security
L.A I know I’m bad
But I have nowhere else to go
Can I come home now
I never had a mother
Will you let me make the sun my own for now
And the ocean my son
I’m quite good at tending to things despite my upbringing
Can I raise your mountains
I promise to keep them greener
Make them my daughters
Teach them about fire
Warn them about water
I’m lonely L.A can I come home now
I left my city for San Francisco
And I’m writing from the Golden Gate Bridge
But it’s not going as I planned
I took a free ride off a billionaire and brought my typewriter
And promised myself that I would stay but
It’s just not going the way that I thought
It’s not that I feel different
And I don’t mind that it’s not hot
It’s just that I belong to no one which means
There’s only one place for me
The city not quite awake the city not quite asleep
The city that’s still deciding how good it can be
And also
I can’t sleep without you
No one’s ever really held me like you
Not quite tightly
But certainly I feel your body next to me
Smoking next to me
Vaping lightly next to me
And I love that you love the neon lights like me
Orange in the distance
We both love that
And I love that we have that in common
Also neither one of us can go back to New York
For you are unmoving
As for me it won’t be my city again until I’m dead
F**k the New York Post
L.A who am I to need you
When I’ve needed so much asked for so much
But what I’ve been given I’m not sure yet
I may never know that either until I’m dead
For now though what I do know
Is although I don’t deserve you
Not you at your best and your splendor
With towering eucalyptus trees that sway in my dominion
Not you at your worst
Totally on fire unlivable unbreathable I need you
You see I have no mother
And you do
A continental shelf
A larger piece of land from where you came
And I
I’m an orphan
A little seashell that rests upon your native shores
One of many for sure
But because of that
I surely must love you closely to the most of anyone
For that reason let me love you
Don’t mind my desperation
Let me hold you not just for vacation
But for real and for forever
Make it real life
Let me be a real wife to you
Girlfriend lover mother friend
I adore you
Don’t be put off by my quick-wordedness
I’m generally quite quiet
Quite a meditator actually
I’ll do very well down by
Paramhansa Yogananda’s realization center I’m sure
I promise you’ll barely even notice me
Unless you want to notice me
Unless you prefer a rambunctious child
In which case I can turn it on too
I’m quite good on the stage as you may know
You might have heard of me
So either way I’ll fit in just fine
So just love me by doing nothing
And perhaps by not shaking the county line
I’m yours if you’ll have me
But regardless you’re mine
