December, I was lost in darkness that I couldn't shake

Called you in California and you answered right away

You answered right away

You picked up right away

You were workin' at the table that your father made

You were gonna teach guitar to half the kids across L.A

All across L.A

Half the kids across L.A

You're the best kept secret in Silver Lake

I talked about my misery, you called it pain of pain

How we let it pile on until we go insane

'Til we go insane

Until we go insane

You're the best kept secret in Silver Lake

Oh, you can sing and you can really play

You're the real thing and your heart's in the right place

Hung up, I was lifted, turned my head up to the rain

Shortest day of winter but the light found me again

Found me again

The light came rolling in

Yeah, you're the best kept secret in Silver Lake

Oh, you can sing and you can really play

You're the real thing

Your heart's in the right place

You're the best kept secret in Silver Lak
