Better Coast

Oh, I can wait as long as you need I'm a useless shell, I'm a bible in your hotel No pages turn, and the drawer stays closed Unless you're ripping it out to roll something up But you just sit there on the bed Waiting for a change You're staring straight through walls again It's always the same You'll never miss it til the summer Then suddenly come unglued I never wanted that for you, oh-oh Here I am, here I am It came like New York City rain, it's quick and I'm clear again But soaking wet, indulging pain Oh, I can wait as long as you need I picture backyards late at night when we were nineteen But you just sit there on the bed Waiting for a change You're staring straight through walls again It's always the same It's always the same You'll never miss it 'til the summer Then suddenly come unglued I never wanted that for you, oh-oh But now you're falling in December So here I am, here I am, here I am Let's take it way past here A better coast, I miss you the most She wasn't right, they say, but I'm addicted to it I'd rather burn with her than have to go through this
