[Verse 1]
Coast to coast, I always knew you wanted more from me
If it keeps going on and on, the way I see it
I'll never be what you want me to be (Now I'll clean up this mess)
I gotta pick up the pieces (Of whatever is left)
Is there even a reason you held me down when I fell?
And it feels like I'm cheated
Seems like every problem we have keeps repeating
[Chorus]
And you should know
My smiles turned to a frown
I always wanted you around
But I could never hear the sound
Of our souls drifting
[Verse 2]
Coast to coast started to feel like an accessory
Yeah, I was high off your love for just a minute
Was addicted now I'm quitting
'Cause I'll never be what you need
We tried to turn it around when things were different
Wanted to talk it out, you weren't listening
And every time I hear your name
I swear it's all the same, you never cared
[Chorus]
And you should know
My smiles turned to a frown
I always wanted you around
Always wanted you around
Now we're on the floor
Broken on the ground
I always wanted you around
But I could never hear the sound
Of our souls drifting
[Bridge]
I lit myself a cigarette, burned a hole in me
My lungs are filled with smoke and regret
I'm losing oxygen every single time that I breathe you in
(Coast to coast, I always knew you wanted more from me)
[Chorus]
And you should know (You should know)
My smile's turned to a frown (My smile's turned to a frown)
I always wanted you around
Always wanted you around
Now we're on the floor
Broken on the ground
I always wanted you around
But I could never hear the sound
Of our souls drifting
[Outro]
I lit myself a cigarette, burned a hole in me
My lungs are filled with smoke and regret (Of our souls drifting)
I'm losing oxygen every single time that I breathe you in
