“Wash Away” became instantly available as a pre-order single from British rock band Coasts‘ self-titled debut album on August 7th, 2015.
On their Twitter, the band posted the official lyrics handwritten on a piece of paper:
[Verse 1]
Our days are lost
In a summer haze
Our voices soft
In the twilight gaze
Like an orange peel
Give me the sweetest feel
The slightest hope
That my mind can cope
[Pre-Chorus]
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one?
Could you be the one to wash away?
[Verse 2]
I'm a loving fool in your lover's school

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
[Bridge]

Could you be the one to wash away?
[Chorus]
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
Wash away, wash away
[Outro]
Would you be the one?
Would you be the one?
Could you be the one to wash away?
