Better Coast

Oh, I can wait as long as you need
I'm a useless shell, I'm a bible in your hotel
No pages turn, and the drawer stays closed
Unless you're ripping it out to roll something up

But you just sit there on the bed
Waiting for a change
You're staring straight through walls again
It's always the same

You'll never miss it til the summer
Then suddenly come unglued
I never wanted that for you, oh-oh
Here I am, here I am

It came like New York City rain, it's quick and I'm clear again
But soaking wet, indulging pain
Oh, I can wait as long as you need
I picture backyards late at night when we were nineteen

But you just sit there on the bed
Waiting for a change
You're staring straight through walls again
It's always the same
It's always the same

You'll never miss it 'til the summer
Then suddenly come unglued
I never wanted that for you, oh-oh
But now you're falling in December
So here I am, here I am, here I am

Let's take it way past here
A better coast, I miss you the most
She wasn't right, they say, but I'm addicted to it
I'd rather burn with her than have to go through this
