[Verse 1]
Fighter jets over my city, uh
Cool contrails in the sky, yeah
It's breaking news all over TV
We were hit by surprise
Alright
I was at Townhouse down in Venice Beach, oh no
Stealing moments with you know who
We won the war but not a day goes by
That I don't think I shoulda been with you

[Chorus]
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
I was busy letting you down, woman
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
I was nowhere to be found
Alright

[Verse 2]
A vast shadow cast over my city
Some kinda, unknown ships sittin' in the sky (Yeah, ooh)
I guess they came here looking for trouble
No time for goodbyes

[Chorus]
Oh, When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
I was busy letting you down, woman
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
And I was nowhere to be found
No, no, nowhere to be found
Nowhere, honey, oh no

[Verse 3]
Drinking my favorite tequila (alright)
You know I, saved your last message to my phone, woman
I didn't text you back that night, did I?
It just says, "Baby, when do you think you'll be home?" no, oh no
I stayed behind when everyone left fled for Nevada
You know I, I stayed behind to search for your smile, oh no
Hoping to find you in the rubble
Hoping, that I could just hold you for a while

[Outro]
'Cause when the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
I was busy letting you down, woman
When the City of Angels fell
When the City of Angels fell
I was nowhere to be found
Oh, why...

Miguel Jontel Pimentel, better known simply as Miguel, is an American recording artist, songwriter and producer. He was born and raised in San Pedro, California. His father is Mexican-American and his mother is African American. He often flaunts his Spanish in many songs. He also sung Remember Me from the movie Coco along side Natalia Lafourcade. In 2007, he signed to Jive Records in 2007 and released his debut album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. Although it performed poorly upon its release, the album became a sleeper hit and helped Miguel garner commercial standing. Following Jive’s dissolution in 2011, he moved to RCA Records and released his second album Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 to critical acclaim, followed it up three years later with the equally impressive Wildheart on June 29th, 2015, and his most recent work on December 1, 2017, named War & Leisure.
