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
