lyrics

The east coast may be home
But I want to go where no one knows my name
I stay up late when I need to get up early and can never make things right
But this awkward thing we’ve got going on ends tonight
Or maybe not ‘cause I don’t have the courage to be considered alone
And all my friends are busy whenever I come home
I’m tired of being stuck in your shadow, this cloudy overcast
Left on by what everyone swore wouldn’t last
But I managed to keep up all my faith when you managed to simply toss me away
Like an old magazine full of bands that you now hate

And I thought you would be different
And I thought you weren’t like the rest
And I thought I could count on the one who kept me from hitting the ground
Just before I lost my self respect

The east coast may be home
But I want to go where no one knows my name

I can’t get down with poetry, their contrived metaphors and forced rhyme schemes
It won’t help me face the facts, I’m down and lonely
‘Cause the only thing that ever brought me up was seeing your face at the end of the month
As you watched my band play for some grungy club

And I thought you would be different
And I thought you weren’t like the rest
And I thought I could count on the one who kept me from hitting the ground
Just before I lost my self respect

The east coast may be home
But I want to go where no one knows my name
So far away ‘till I can’t see my house anymore
And hopefully I will be half the person I was before you met me

I wish I could swim back to shore ‘cause I’m sure it’s so much safer when I’m home
And the only thing keeping me afloat is the constant hope that’s tearing up my soul
I wish I could swim back to shore ‘cause I’m sure it’s so much safer when I’m home
And the only thing keeping me afloat is the constant hope that’s tearing up my soul
