North Hollywood

or Where you Met Me

By Hayat HyattPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

North Hollywood (Going back where you met me)

Orange lights and stop signs

Always hanging on the red line

Taking the bus

Heading to the dessert

Going to wind up

Back in never never

Will u meet me on the train

Going back home

You didn’t answer the phone

Now I’m here all alone

Orange lights and stop signs

Always sleepy on the red line

Taking a car

Heading to the desert

Going to wind up

Back in never never

Will u meet me on the train

Going back home

You didn’t answer the phone

I’ve made it here all alone

Will u meet me on the train

Where u met me (may)

It’s cold tonight in the dessert

I can still smell your hair

Still think you’re coming

Though I also know you never coming back here

Orange lights and stop signs

Always sleepy on the red line

Organe lights and stop signs

Always sleepy on the red line

Always sleepy on the red line
