The Neighbourhood - West Coast lyrics
[The Neighbourhood - West Coast lyrics]
Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets
Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets
(Ah)
Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets
Me, I'm from a different type of left land
Old wild west land nose bleeds
Palm trees and tumbleweeds rustling
Outside they say it's happy
Here but it's depressing
Too many pretty faces catching my attention
So I look at them
Remind myself in this smudged glass
That pretty isn't everything, you punk-ass
Always hard to see past the surface
When it looks so perfect
But our eyes will disguise dirt on purpose
You listening? I grew up here under the sun
In grade school
I was the odd one out of the bunch
And I don't mean I was the
Kid to eat bugs for lunch
I was the one who wasn't coming
From where they're coming from (Uh)
I speak poetically and never
Pride my ignorance
But this California shit is rigorous
They say it's happy here
Happiness is figurative
I'm happy 'cause of me
Doesn't matter where I'm living
If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil
I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm waking up underneath sheets, naked
Still sweating
Slept in late so everybody else is ready
My friend called up, he said
"Hurry up, buddy
It's almost sundown already"
So I hopped up, I went and washed up
I ate some pasta then I gave my mom hugs
And then I thought, uh
It's gonna be a pretty nice night
(But pretty isn't everything, right?)
Golden state mind (Mind)
I'm taking my time (Time)
Plain white shirt and a skinny black tie
My top let down when I get picked up
PCH, so California maybe they were right
Happiness is a warm gun
But before you shoot please, warn us
Life is too fun, California
Will you marry me? Let God be the sun and in
The ocean they shall bury me
If the sun was God, I'd be covered in faith
If the ocean was the devil
I'd be covered in hate
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
I'm so west coast, it's a goddamn shame
Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets
(Ah)
Jump onto new streets, jump onto new streets
Me, I'm from a different type of left land
Old wild west land nose bleeds
Palm trees and tumbleweeds rustling
Outside they say it's happy
Here but it's depressing
Too many pretty faces catching my attention
So I look at them
Remind myself in this smudged glass
That pretty isn't everything, you punk-ass
Always hard to see past the surface
