Lyrics

I left the east side for a west coast beauty

I moved from the eastern side to be with a beautiful woman on the west coast.

A girl who burned my thoughts like kisses

This woman had a captivating effect on my mind, much like intense kisses.

She was down by street decree

She was present due to a decree or decision made by the street or circumstance.

She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

She promised to bring out the best years of my life.

Fat painted lips on a live wire beauty

Describing her lips as bold and vibrant on a strikingly beautiful woman.

A tangerine girl with tambourine eyes

She had eyes like a tangerine and was lively like a tambourine.

Her face was my favourite magazine

Her face was incredibly appealing, like a favorite magazine to me.

Her body was my favourite book to read

Her body was something I found endlessly fascinating, like a favorite book.


They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

The recurring theme highlights the idea that poets and lovers often experience unrequited love and thought-provoking fears. Holding onto this person signifies letting go of pain, tears, rain, and what's not real. It's about healing from sorrows and acknowledging the need to release what isn't genuine.

As all lovers must have

-

thought provoking fears

-

But holding on to you means letting go on pain

-

Means letting go of tears

-

Means letting go of rain

-

Means letting go of what's not real

-

Holding on to you

-

I left the rough side for a seaside baby

-

A chamomile smile that pouts on cue

-

For every moment I breathe her sigh

-

Her bosom contains my sweet alibi

-

In an emotional mist she breathes in fog

-

And breathes it out as garden flowers

-

Why me of all the tough talking boys?

-

I guess she heard my heartbeat through the noise

-

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

-

As all lovers must have

-

thought provoking fears

-

But holding on to you means letting go of pain

-

Means letting go of tears

-

Means letting go of the rain

-

Holding on to you

-

Means letting sorrows heal

-

Means letting go of what's not real

-

Holding on to you

-

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

-

As all lovers I'm sure must have

-

thought provoking fears

-

But holding on to you means letting sorrows heal

-

Means letting go of what's not real

-

Holding on to you

-

I left the east coast for a west coast beauty

-

A woman who burned my thoughts like kisses

-

She was down by street decree

-

She swore she'd pull my best years out of me

-

Fat wet lips on a sea salt canvas

-

Goodbye Picasso hello Dali

-

The soil is fertile where her footsteps trod

-

She's my new religion she's all I got

-

They say that all poets must have an unrequited love

-

As all lovers I'm sure must have

-

thought provoking fears

-

But holding on to you means letting go of pain

-

Means letting go of tears

-

Means letting go of rain

-

Means letting sorrows heal

-

It means letting go
