“The Coast Is Where Home Is” is the tenth track from As It Is' sophomore effort okay.
The track acts as an ode to the band’s hometown of Brighton, a popular seaside town located in the United Kingdom. This track wasn’t the first instance of singing their pride to their hometown, as they have done so...
[Verse 1]
(Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh, Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
Long live forgotten days
The city lights that paint the waves
The sea air inside my lungs (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
The memories we made back then
Forever splintered in my skin
Feeling like the only ones (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
[Chorus]
Years passed with these streets, losing what I keep
I know, I know the coast is where home is
[Verse 2]
They closed the venue we first played
Near Blenheim Place and Grand Parade
And with it went a piece of me (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
I live in chapters left behind
I'm losing constants over time
If nothing else I have the sea (Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh)
If nothing else (if nothing else)
If nothing else (if nothing else)
If nothing else, I have the sea
[Chorus]
Years passed with these streets, losing what I keep
I know, I know the coast is where home is
Romance for past tense, rose-tinted sunsets
I know, I know, the coast, the coast is where home is
[Bridge]
We can't change that nothing will stay the same
(In love with a past that's moving on)
Can't change that nothing will stay the same
(Still here but the feeling is gone)
Can't change that nothing will stay the same
(In love with a past that's moving on)
Can't change that nothing will stay the same
(Still here but the feeling is gone)
Still here but the feeling is gone
[Chorus x2]
Years passed with these streets, losing what I keep
I know, I know, the coast is where home is
Romance for past tense, rose-tinted sunsets
I know, I know, the coast, the coast is where home is
Years passed with these streets, losing what I keep
I know, I know, the coast is where home is
Romance for past tense, rose-tinted sunsets
I know, I know, the coast, the coast is where home is

We’ve watched Brighton change over the last five years, as the venues, clubs, and pubs we knew disappeared. But it was our friends and our community that made Brighton home.
We watched and played shows with the same group of friends every wee...
