West Coast

White lies, you like to run and hide
I try not to let you come back anymore
Why can't I close this door
I'm feeling dizzy, I don't know how
To stop from spinning, I'm on the ground
My hands are up in the air somehow
I don't like this, please calm me down

We let our problems fade like sidewalk chalk in the rain
Our honeymoon phase lasted one single day

I felt something, I'm naive
Just another heartbeat
Found a lover in me
Can't let go, I'm still falling
Hold me down and you'll see
I was never running
All the grey that I breathed
Hid days that were sunny

You said this would be paradise
Laying under palm trees on the beach
Driving down the west coast
Singing Sweater Weather with sandy bare feet
But all I see is broken things
That we can't seem to fix
Your deep blue eyes drew me into a paradise that didn't exist

Cuz I've been stuck between who I am and who you want me to be
And I close my eyes slowly so I don't have to watch you leave
I'm sorry but I'm not
You loved me but forgot

I felt something, I'm naive
Just another heartbeat
Found a lover in me
Can't let go, I'm still falling
Hold me down and you'll see
I was never running
All the grey that I breathed
Hid days that were sunny

Drive down the west coast I loved you the 'most-est'
Took all the things I held close, left them broken

Drove down the west coast to rained out emotions
Took a wrong turn, left us burnt out and broken
