Coastline is a rewritten version of Leaving In The Springtime, a song released in demo form on Fred Thomas’s extensive “Ridiculous Rain” box set, and also the more concise “Another Song About Rising The Bus” cassette tape
You're submerged on the sidelines
Tryna make the best of a bad night
Not gonna live to cry
Spinnin' in rings of spite
Creaky demonic floorboards
Are tryna lock you into a lifetime
Of one more ridiculous round of the game
That you all played all night long
One more ridiculous round of the game
That you all played all night long
When I saw you last night
You told me you were leavin' in the spring time
From the glass in your eyes
I could tell you had no reason to lie
When I saw you last night
You told me you were headed for the coastline
There were clouds in your eyes
I could tell that you were talkin' from the outside
Coastline was written by Fred Thomas.
