East Coast

Am I fading like a ship in the night?
Am I loosely holding you tight?
Am I here, am I halfway there?
Three feet down in light and heartless air

But if I hold on to everything I find
I'll either lose myself or lose my state of mind

'Cause I belong on the East Coast, but I'm stuck in LA
More of a mountain person, but here on the bay
Nothing ever seems to be in its place
Hoping someday something will change
Little did I know no one's picking their fate
Heaven and hell are never pumping the brakes
Everyone's crawling in this foot race
Hoping someday, sometime, something might just change
Hoping someday, sometime, something might just change

I need you now, I never thought I would
I'll tell you something I never thought I could
Where the hell were you when I needed you the most?
So when I come to you, are you always on your own?

But before I go, give me one more sign
Something nice and still to calm my hellish mind

'Cause I belong on the East Coast, but I'm stuck in LA
More of a mountain person, but here on the bay
Nothing ever seems to be in its place
Hoping someday something will change
Little did I know no one's picking their fate
Heaven and hell are never pumping the brakes
But everyone's crawling in this foot race
Hoping someday, sometime, they might say

I'm on the East Coast saying: Fuck you, LA
Acting like everything is falling in place
But knowing I'm the only one playing the game
Forgetting when I'm first, I'm last just the same
Little did I know I ain't picking my fate
Heaven and hell are something I can't escape
And maybe I'm crawling in this foot race
Saying someday, sometime, someone might just change
Saying someday, sometime, someone might just change
