Long drive but you know that it's worth the wait Forty miles to the coast just to see the waves Great minds always go to the same places You find a home in a sleepy cape town It's hard to know if you'll feel less alone now At the edge of the cliffs, it's a long way down You and I can breathe deep for the first time Let the ocean breeze come and clear our minds Let's go to the coast In flannel shirts Tell you the secret of who I love the most I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of You finally caught all the dreams you were chasing The fog rolled in and gave you a clean slate Washed away all the pain, now it's gone with the waves Now you stand with your feet planted on the ground Who would have thought silence would become your favorite sound You love the feeling of freedom when no one is around How does it feel to breathe deep for the first time Let's go to the coast In flannel shirts Tell you the secret of who I love the most I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of Let's go to the water Right to the edge Pretend that we're never coming back again I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of Found you in the dark Brought you back to life But we got lost in the Blinding city lights Had to run away to the one place That we call home We went back to the coast Let's go to the coast In flannel shirts Tell you the secret of who I love the most I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of Let's go to the coast In flannel shirts Tell you the secret of who I love the most I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of Let's go to the water Right to the edge Pretend that we're never coming back again I swear it's you that I'm dreaming of Let's go to the coast Let's go to the coast Let's go to the coast Oh, let's go back to the coast
