COASTLINE LYRICS
-
COASTLINE
Oh my, my troubled mind
Never rested, never still
I’ve found that not you nor I
Would ever compromise our lives
Even though I sound selfish
I’m all right, better off your mind
Even if the best years of my life have been lived I don’t mind
I’ve been stalling on the coastline, staying out of sight
Been stoned and overthinking, misreading all your signs
I’m done watching on the action, eyeing from the side
So tired and out of patience, been blunt and out of line
Oh I keep moving but I know
I ain’t fooling anyone
I’m an old soul, my love, a victim of
Slowly giving up the ghost
Hanging ‘round out of habit
Should have walked or taken off by now
You keep on pushing ‘til I break down
Let me break up like a man
I’ve been stalling on the coastline, staying out of sight
Been stoned and overthinking, misreading all your signs
I’m done watching on the action, eyeing from the side
So tired and out of patience, been blunt and out of line -
SLEEPING ON MY OWN
You ain’t the first one to care for what’s hiding inside
Ain’t the first to fall
To notice you can’t have it all
I ain’t a cold hearted men, won’t give you false hopes
But I ain’t made of stone
Got limits, I’ll get weak if you get too close
Somehow this is what I’m used to, easy as it goes
Smoking on my downtime, sleeping on my own
You got me faded, stuck in a daze
Trying to keep up with your pace but I’m growing old
Guess I’m getting tired
And I’ve been meaning to tell you, what’s been on my mind
I’m just scared you’ll leave, been left alone too many times
Somehow this is what I’m used to, easy as it goes
Smoking on my downtime, sleeping on my own -
TROUBLE CHILD
Night has taken over
Fog in the streets
Missus driving faster
We’re closer to the beat
The headrest slippin’ off
The head I’m leaning on
We used to call each other ‘lover’
We used to try to make things work
We used to call each other ‘lover’
We used to try
Best we start this over
We’re hanging by a thread
Been longing for an answer
Why I ought to be your man
Lost my heart to a woman, only too young
Trouble child, beauty queen, short attention span
Lost my cause, caught slippin’, lost all serotonin
But love’s standing in the way
We used to call each other ‘lover’
We used to try to make things work
We used to call each other ‘lover’
We used to try -
RAISED BY WOLVES
Raised by wolves, independent
Born to kill, won’t feel your pain
Civilized but a little restless
Don’t test my skills, don’t doubt my bones
Raised by wolves, independent
Born to kill, won’t feel your pain
Civilized but a little restless
Don’t test my skills, don’t pick my brain
But I need your love
Loved and hated, feared by most
Born to fight, would take you down
Underrated, trained in the wild
I’m back for answers, back for the crown
But I need your love -
GOT ME ALL TIRED
Hold on my darling
Wake up, wake up early morning
The smell in the air tells a different story
Than the ones I’ve read or the ones I’ve told before
Add a little more soul and some swing to it
Is what I mean, it’s what I think I need
I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
Got me all tired to better keep me calm
To better keep me
But hold up ‘til we get it all in line
Might have raised my voice
But I’ll never let you down
And pay close attention now
Don’t make me turn my back and leave you down and out
Yeah hope for the best that I
Don’t turn my back and leave you down and out
I stepped on a fire, mistreated my soul
Tripped on your wire, and then you got me
Got me all tired to better keep me calm
To better keep
All I ask from you
Is to trust me with your heart in my hands
And if you ask me how
Well to figure it out, that’s the beauty of love -
AS LONG
As long as you stand beside me
I’ll keep you warm
Picture your arms around me
I see your eyes slowly giving in
Feel my fingers, sliding up your chin
I’m already high from making my way in
Now I feel my body drowning in
Everytime I try
And I hate that I can’t see your colours
Everytime I try
But you keep my head under the water
Maybe I misunderstood
Maybe you just had it all
Feel the walls closing in
I’m learning how to take the fall for you
Everytime I try
But you keep my head under the water -
DAY AT THE MUSEUM
So… bring me back to your home?

CALL OF THE WILD
I’m keeping track, counting backwards
Of every other moment, every single word
I keep looking back, looking back on
How we lost our reason, we killed our soul
Call of the wild, hitching up the coast
Fucked by the ocean, a better kind of high
I didn’t mean to hurt you, I tried to work it out
Man did I love you, but you dragged me down
Out by the backdoor, won’t look back this time
I’m out in the open now, to learn how to fight
One less commitment, one less advice
Better move on forward, lose a little pride
I’m keeping track, counting backwards
Of every other moment, every single word
I keep looking back, looking back on
How we lost our reason, we killed our soul
And I’ve barely seen or heard anybody
All that distance just kicked in, I need you up against my body
What I’m longing for, I’m still trying to let go
What I’d loose to keep you, you don’t have to know
I’m keeping track, counting backwards
Of every other moment, every single word
I keep looking back, looking back on
How we lost our reason, we killed our soul -
PUSHERMAN
Tried so hard to believe what you said to me
Woke up from a stranger’s dream
Thought you’d be beside me sleeping
But I ought to leave you alone
Find my way away from home
Now that our thrill is gone
Now that you’ve watched me come undone
Oh I’ll call the pusherman
Call my one and only friend
Pusherman
Call my one and only friend
Woke up in the morning light
Days like these it’s all alright
Avoiding every warning sign
Enjoy until you come back down
But I ought to leave it alone
Find my way and turn back home
Now that all thrill is gone
Still will you care and take me home?
Or I’ll call the pusherman
Call my one and only friend
Pusherman
Call my one and only friend -
BAD HABIT
Give it up, she says
You’re up to no good
You’re with me now, get me high
Walk me around but if I
If I go, if I go your way now
Will you keep it goin’, will you show me how
Will you keep it goin’
Will you show me how to get back home
You’re such bad habit
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back to you
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back
Such bad habit
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back to you
Yet I don’t why, I keep on coming back
You’re stepping out instead of playing your part
Did we stray too far and upset your heart?
Leaving invisible scars
If I go, if I go your way now
Will you keep it goin’, will you show me how to
Will you keep it goin’
Will you show me how to get back home
You’re such bad habit
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back to you
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back
Such bad habit
Yet I don’t why, I keep coming back to you
Yet I don’t why, I keep on coming back -
THIRSTY
I’m thirsty
I’ll give what you want if you want to
You got my full attention
I’m different though
I’d rather warn you so
You don’t go crazy, crazy on me
You won’t change me
Nor tame an only child
But you’d love to
I’m a lot like my dad
You still want me now do you?
Do you now?
I’m gonna make you right
It’s that easy
You’re not just somebody
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
Enough girl talk
I played the right cards, you keep shuffling
You got me wrapped up
I’ll be careful though
Gave you my time so I’d fancy some
Some work in return
I ain’t lonely
Brought up to live alone, I’ll love you slowly
So before you act up, get all fired up
Better let you know
That I’m just trouble
Just trouble you know
I’m gonna make you right
It’s that easy
You’re not just somebody
Don’t you worry ‘bout me
