Lyrics
The West Coast
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I guess I should have stopped
When all the lights turned red
And the radio kept playing
When the stereo was dead
I guess I should've known
That photographs meant more
Than what we let us tell ourselves,
Than what they did before
And I guess I have to say
Wait a minute
This is just beginning
The west coast can take it
Yeah, it's overrated
So book another flight
And draw a map to see
How far your dashed and dotted lines
Are from Tennessee
And make another call
And talk until we sleep
I know your clock is saying one
But here's it's screaming three
And I guess I have to say
Wait a minute
This is just beginning
The west coast can take it
Yeah, it's overrated
Wait, I'll find another way
I'll cross another state
I'll find a better way
We'll start another day
