Coast to Coast
Journey Through Memories: Coast to Coast Reflections
Lyrics
It's not just the bedroom
Reflecting on more than just the physical space of the bedroom.
Where she used to lay her head
Where she used to rest her head.
Or the front room by the fire
Recalling moments spent in the front room by the fire.
Where we once passed the night instead
Memories of nights spent together in that room.
Though I have left these rooms
The narrator has moved on from these physical spaces.
And gone as far as I could drive
Extended the distance, even reaching the motels along U.S. 405.
Even in the motels along U S 405
Geographical reference to the U.S. 405 highway.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Memories spanning across the entire country.
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall
The memory is small but significant, not exceeding five feet in height.
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall
The impact of the memory is widespread, casting a noticeable shadow.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Reiteration of the vast influence of the memory.
California seems like someplace I could catch my breath
California is presented as a place to find solace and peace of mind.
Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death
Attempting to distract oneself from someone who still causes worry.
Even though she's gone her memory unlocks every door
The memory of the person lingers and opens emotional doors.
Haunts me now in places I have never seen before
The impact of the memory extends to unfamiliar places.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Recalling memories that stretch from coast to coast.
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall
The memory is described as being of modest height.
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall
Emphasizing the noticeable impact or influence of the memory.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Reiteration of the widespread influence of the memory.
I'm rolling down the highway or strolling down the hall
Driving or walking, the memories can surface unexpectedly.
When things are going my way and then a memory comes to call
Memories resurface even when things are going well.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Recalling memories that span from coast to coast and wall to wall.
It's a memory not much more than five feet tall
Highlighting the memory's significant impact despite its height.
But the shadow that it's casting seem to fall
Reiteration of the far-reaching influence of the memory.
Coast to coast and wall to wall
Final emphasis on the extensive and pervasive nature of the memory.
