Let Me Back In Lyrics - Rkives - Rilo Kiley

Let it be printed, let it be known 

I'm leaving you, I'm going home 

And all you can do is just watch me go 

I've put you down, talked you up, defended your honor 

And then packed it in and picked it up 

And all you can do is watch me go 

From the Eastern seaboard, the landlocked Midwest 

The Keys, the Alps, the Black Hills and Budapest 

With my heart in a sling, tail between my legs a-swinging 

I'm sorry for leaving 

But when the palm trees bow their heads 

No matter how wrong I've been 

L.A., you always let me back in 

And you can bury me when my body breaks 

In the earth that created me, in the Golden State 

By my mama and her brother and their mama too 

'Cause I had a dream I was carried on backs 

Of a thousand green birds 

And they carried me to a place without words 

And there was nothing, but there was everything 

And it sounded like this 

But when the palm trees bow their heads 

No matter how cruel I've been 

L.A., you always let me back in 

And when the palm trees bow their heads, 

No matter how cruel I've been, 

L.A., you always let me back in, in 

Oh back in, in 

Oh back in, in
