When I first came to see you
I called it Houston Street
Could we meet?
Show me all the things you see
I'm one more here, some old-time pioneer
Who believes, with a shaken faith, I still have some cool
I could leave you here with your people
If I'm a flag you'd not prefer to wave
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
When I first came to LA
I met you the old-fashioned way
Too drunk, and even worse
Much too lonely
I'll leave it there, a busted homesteader
Who believes in virgin grace, somehow I'll stay proud
Any dick can roll up in a suit
But only I would know what really moves you
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
There's a cinematic end
I picture it just right
Having trouble with the right words
But you tell me with your eyes
There's something good I missed
There's something I can't find
Do you believe me now?
Can you see it in my eyes?
See it in my eyes
See it in my eyes
You're always in my head
You're just what I wanted
I live in constant debt
To feel you, invented
