Around Here Lyrics

Around here, rejection is as common as a sunburn

Around here, it's always who you know, and never what you've learned

Around here, if the September heat don't kill you

Then a cold shoulder will

Around here, the sunshine comes with quite a hefty price tag

Around here, you can measure life by hours on the highway

Around here, if the faking it don't kill you

Then the real estate will

But in the city of angels

I have faced my demons

In the miles of traffic

I have found my freedom

Between the Hills and the Valley

I've discovered reasons

For all this

Here in Los Angeles

Around here, you might assume that everybody's famous

Around here, we could sell our souls and nobody would blame us

Around here, if the industry don't kill you

Then your expectations will

But in the city of angels

I have faced my demons

In the miles of traffic

I have found my freedom

Between the Hills and the Valley

I've discovered reasons

For all this

Here in Los Angeles

'Cause I found magic in the mountains

And shelter under palm trees

I found it's better to take Fountain

And Pacific waves can wash you clean

I fell in love with sunsets

That fill up the western sky

Still my favorite place is Sunset

On the east side of town

'Cause in the city of angels

I have faced my demons

In the miles of traffic

I have found my freedom

Between the Hills and the Valley

I've discovered reasons

For all this

Oh

'Cause in the city of angels

I have faced my demons

In the miles of traffic

I have found my freedom

Between the Hills and the Valley

I've discovered reasons

For all this

Here in Los Angeles
