West Coast
Escaping to the West Coast
Lyrics
I’ve been out looking for the place we were before
I've been searching for the place we were in previously.
You’ve been looking for a way out
You have been seeking an escape.
My mind is flooded with the words that came out wrong
My mind is filled with regret over words spoken incorrectly.
You’ve been living in a blackout
You've been living in a state of unawareness or avoidance.
You said that I stuck around too long
You mentioned that I stayed around for too long.
I said it now you know
I acknowledged it, and now you are aware.
I’m never coming home now I’m leaving
I've decided not to return home; I'm leaving.
Oh one last thing before I go
Before departing, there's one last thing I want to say.
I found it all on your phone
I discovered everything on your phone, possibly revealing secrets.
I never liked your songs
I never enjoyed your music.
Now we’re even
Now, we are on equal terms or settled.
The weather is better on the west coast
The climate is preferable on the west coast.
It never rains in southern California
In Southern California, it rarely rains.
You’d rather talk shit from the corner
You prefer to criticize or gossip from a distance.
You’re off and running and you’re headed for the west coast
You're on the move and heading to the west coast.
You’ve been out looking for the ones you never call
You've been searching for people you neglect to call.
You’ve been trying to blur the background
You've been attempting to obscure the past.
I felt it coming but the door already closed
I sensed it happening, but the opportunity has already passed.
Before i could get the word out
Before I could express myself, the chance was gone.
I stuck around too long
I stayed around for too long (repeated from line 6).
I said it now you know
I acknowledged it again, emphasizing the realization.
This was never home now I’m leaving
This place was never home; now, I'm leaving (repeated from line 8).
Oh one last thing before I go
Before departing, one final thing needs to be said (repeated from line 9).
I never liked your songs now we’re even
I never enjoyed your music, emphasizing the sentiment (repeated from line 11).
The weather is better on the west coast
The climate is preferable on the west coast (repeated from line 14).
It never rains in southern California
In Southern California, it rarely rains (repeated from line 15).
Your friends are only numbers from your best post
Your social connections are merely statistics from your best moments online.
You never had it better living on the west coast
You've never had a better life than on the west coast.
You never fit in better living on the west coast
You've never felt more accepted than on the west coast.
The weather is better on the west coast
The climate is preferable on the west coast (repeated from line 30).
It never rains in southern California
In Southern California, it rarely rains (repeated from line 31).
You’d rather talk shit from the corner
You prefer to criticize or gossip from a distance (repeated from line 16).
You’re off and running and you’re headed for the west coast
You're on the move and heading to the west coast (repeated from line 17).
You’re off and running and you’re headed for the west coast
You're on the move and heading to the west coast (repeated from line 39).
You’re off and running and you’re headed for the west coast
You're on the move and heading to the west coast (repeated from line 40).
