Let Me Back In - 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

When all you can do is just watch me go

From the Eastern Seaboard 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

Because 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
