Cold Nights
Whiskey Dreams and City Lights: Cold Nights in LA
Lyrics
She picked up the bottle and drove from Colorado in a hand me down car
Embarking on a journey from Colorado in a passed-down car, carrying a bottle.
She went to be a model but drinking from the bottle only gets you so far
Her pursuit of modeling, but relying on alcohol has limitations.
Well but these liquored up dreams don't stand on their own
Liquored dreams alone are not sustainable or fulfilling.
Took her too long to figure out something that she should've known
Realizing a truth that took too long to grasp.
Well and I know
Transition to a personal reflection or realization.
Cold nights in LA man I hate being sober
Expressing dislike for cold nights in LA while sober.
She's on the telephone begging me not to come over
Receiving a plea on the phone to stay away.
If I could lie just one more time then I could make it out all right
Desiring the ability to lie for a better outcome.
Oh well babe we could bottle these dreams
Suggesting the possibility of preserving dreams in bottles.
Save 'em for when there's nothing more but drinking memories
Preserving dreams for times when only drinking memories remain.
She left town stopped coming around suppose it's just as well
The person leaves town, and it seems acceptable.
You know that I was lying pretending I was trying not to miss you like hell Oh and I miss you like hell
Admitting to pretending and missing the person intensely.
Cold nights in LA man I hate being sober
Reiteration of disliking sober cold nights in LA.
She's on the telephone begging me not to come over
Receiving a plea on the phone not to visit.
If I could lie just one more time then I could make it out all right
Desiring the power to lie for a better resolution.
Well I hate being sober
Reiterating the dislike for being sober.
Oh well I'm not coming over
Declaring the decision not to visit.
Cold nights in LA man I hate being sober
Repeating the aversion to cold sober nights in LA.
She's on the telephone begging me not to come over
Receiving a plea on the phone not to come over.
If I could lie just one more time then I could make it out all right
Desiring the ability to lie for a better outcome.
Cold nights in LA man I hate getting older
Expressing dislike for aging during cold nights in LA.
She's on the telephone, begging me not to come over
Receiving a plea on the phone not to come over.
Well if I could lie just one more time then I could make it out all right
Desiring the ability to lie for a better outcome once again.
