Up the Coast
Journey of Love and Reflection: Up the Coast by The Furious Seasons
Lyrics
Up the coast
Embarking on a journey along the coastline
It's been a long day
The day has been tiring and full
We've plans tonight
Plans are made for the evening
Just about hour's drive
About an hour's drive back in the opposite direction
Back the other way
Returning from where we came
We'll see my folks
Visiting my parents
We'll see my family
Connecting with my extended family
Some that are close
Some relatives are emotionally close
Others in a crowded room
Others feel like strangers in a crowded room
Would be strangers to me
Struggling with a sense of unfamiliarity
But oh, I do love you
Expressing deep love for the partner
Like the sun loves the days
Comparing the intensity of love to the sun's affection for days
On those last shirt- sleeved (perfect) evenings
Recalling warm, perfect evenings with short-sleeved shirts
As the summer fades away
As the summer season comes to an end
When it feels like everything's about to change
Feeling a sense of impending change
(Again)
Anticipating another shift or transformation
At a long table
At a lengthy table
The generations sit in a line
Multiple generations sit in a row
I feel a little like I missed out
Feeling a slight sense of having missed experiences
But then again, I feel a little more like it all worked out just fine
Simultaneously, realizing that everything worked out well
