lyrics

If I move to the coast
One thing I'll miss the most
Is the way I fit under your arm

It's not the only
Reason I don't go
But you know that it plays a part

With my head on your chest
That's where I fit the best
Hear your heart like a shell to my ear

I'm looking for land
With my feet on the sand
But for the moment I'm glad to be here

With my tires on the ground
Windows rolled down
I'm drinking the summer like wine

And I know it sounds strange
But every day lately
Feels like the best of my life

Drunk on the hope
Of a promise I hold
Of something I've never quite seen

It's a truth or a dare
As the fall hits the air
Now I'm trying to see where it leads

Can I be you
Even though I still wanna be me
Can I be me
Loving you in this moment
For all eternity
Can this moment be eternity

Well I've never been sure
What makes me so sure
But I'm told of my sureness a lot

What makes me believe
The things I believe
And believe them with all that I've got

But when I wasn't so sure
And I didn't believe
Thanks for seeing what I didn't see

If I move to the coast
One thing that I know
Is I'm carrying you there with me
