West Coast Girls
Memories of West Coast Love: Nashville Dreams Unraveled
Lyrics
I see your name on the marquee lights
Observing the artist's name in lights on a marquee.
Your face on tv in that show I like
Noticing the artist's face on TV in a favorite show.
Your nominated for a grammy,
Acknowledging the artist's Grammy nomination.
cnd you've got an album coming out on Friday
Aware of an upcoming album release on Friday.
I can't get you off my mind
Expressing inability to stop thinking about the person.
The day we woke up seemed like the end of time
Reflecting on a day that felt like the end of time.
Ive gone from one heartbreak to the next, but yours seemed so sublime
Comparing the intensity of heartbreaks, finding the person's breakup particularly poignant.
We both said by the age of thirty
Both parties agreed to marry if single by thirty.
If we had no one, we'd get married
Reference to a plan involving elopement to Las Vegas and marrying like Elvis Presley.
Hop a plane to Lc, elope, and say I do to Presley
The speaker is keeping their end of the agreement, but the person has found someone else.
Well I'm holding up my end of the deal
Reflecting on the contrast between the speaker's situation and the person's success.
But you found some guy named Steve and well..
The person is now successful, while the speaker is performing in empty bars.
Now I'm singing empty bars, while your selling out shows under Broadway stars
Awareness that the person continues to sing about their past relationship.
But don't think that I don't know
Knowing that the person still sings about the speaker.
Your still singing songs about the boy you knew
Recalling slow dancing as a significant memory at the person's mother's wedding.
How slow dancing was the story of you and me at your momma's wedding
Expressing disappointment in a song written for the speaker's ex.
cnd that song you wrote to my ex, you'd be lucky to have him,
Nostalgia for the days when the person claimed the speaker was loved the best.
Did all but impress
Remembering a moment when their names were carved in a tree on a mountain.
'Cause I miss the days where you said you loved me the best
Expressing confusion about the behavior of West Coast girls.
cnd our names are carved in a tree, at the top of that mountain you said we'd never leave
Questioning if the person thinks about the speaker while performing on stage in the rain.
Funny how them west coast girls don't make no sense to me
Sensing a connection through the songs written by the person.
cnd tell me when your on that stage
Feeling the emotional impact of the person's songs through the radio.
Singing out of the blue in the pourin' rain
Reference to the shared aspiration of becoming something more before a division occurred.
Do you think of this ole' boy from Nashville Tennessee?
Despite challenges, maintaining a friendship over the years.
There's something 'bout them songs you wrote
Recognizing the complexity of their relationship with six degrees of separation.
I can feel your heart beating through my radio
Reiteration that the person continues to sing about their past relationship.
You said we could be something more before you chose our division
Recalling slow dancing at the person's mother's wedding as a significant story.
cnd even after all these years, we still remained friends through all the tears
Expressing disappointment in a song written for the speaker's ex.
Probably not the best idea for six degrees of separation
Nostalgia for the days when the person claimed the speaker was loved the best.
But don't think that I don't know
Remembering a moment when their names were carved in a tree on a mountain.
Your still singing songs about the boy you knew
Expressing confusion about the behavior of West Coast girls.
How slow dancing was the story of you and me at your momma's wedding
Questioning if the person thinks about the speaker while performing on stage in the rain.
cnd that song you wrote to my ex, you'd be lucky to have him,
Sensing a connection through the songs written by the person.
Did all but impress
Feeling the emotional impact of the person's songs through the radio.
'Cause I miss the days where you said you loved me the best
Reference to the shared aspiration of becoming something more before a division occurred.
cnd our names are carved in a tree, at the top of that mountain you said we'd never leave
Despite challenges, maintaining a friendship over the years.
Funny how them west coast girls don't make no sense to me
Recognizing the complexity of their relationship with six degrees of separation.
