Verse
I’m Kubrick in a fever
shooting God through a lens
Can’t tell if I ruined something
Or just want to feel it again
Something accidental happened
But I can’t say what for
What a shame, it just existed
Just for us to know
What to ignore
Pre chorus
It’s a California curse, a sunset I’ve seen rolling in
On the edge of a cliff dive
Every word we ever said
Every mirage, every promise
That wasn’t meant to be a lie
Sits on the border of my mind
Chorus
So we move with the
Westbound motion, fluorescent blue
Like the sky still wanted me for you
If the earth had stopped spinning
If we froze there, would we mean it?
The scenery couldn’t be ruined
What a beautiful way
to waste the years
Suspended in time before
state lines got defined
My west coast favorite
West coast favorite
West coast
Verse 2
I was different for a minute
You were easy To exist in
you fit that version of me
That never really made it
No, never made it
Look at the view
You’d like the way I think about you
Chorus
Westbound motion, fluorescent blue
Like the sky still wanted me for you
If the earth had stopped spinning
If we froze there, would we mean it?
The scenery couldn’t be ruined
What a beautiful way
to waste the years
You didn’t know what you did
I didn’t know how to ask you to stay
Somewhere suspended in time
Existing in what once was mine
Then came the state lines
All that for you just to be a
west coast favorite
West coast favorite
Bridge
Strung out on the blacktop of the I-5
70 to 105 just to feel alive
Nothing else mattered
Just the words you said
And If the weather never changed
We wouldn’t have an ending
(Massive, crying guitar solo kicks in here)
Ooh
West coast
Ooh
Favorite
(The music gets hazy and hypnotic. The overlapping vocals feel like memories swirling around your head)
Outro
Undressing the past
(What if)
What even lasts?
(Undressed the past)
Too much time felt
(What if)
To go back
(Where have you been, where did you go)
Reruns keep going
Till i remember what i wasn’t
Hope I don’t ruin something new
Trying to recreate you
(The music drifts away on the repetition)
West coast favorite
West coast favorite
I left
(The West coast)
West coast favorite
Forever just a west coast favorite
