Coast to Coast Lyrics

I have my father's temper

And I have my mother's heart

And all this time

Looking for you

Has left me in the dark

I feel my father's anger

While I cry my mother's tears

The porous dreams I've held for you

Have held me back for years

I've shattered all my selfish dreams

To find a dream in you

But you can't do the same for me

I guess I always knew

Was my attachment to you

A distraction from myself?

My fragile heart still tells me

I don't want anybody else

And all those magic moments

Just a pathway to the end

I try to wrap my head around

Never seeing you again

The lights have all come up now

And the end is coming soon

I'll walk home with my shoes off

Under Saturn's looming moons

Alone at last, inevitably

I sit and write this song (again)

It suddenly occurs to me

This might be what I wanted all along

And in the sudden silence

I've found one thing to be true

Deep down

The only reason I was ever drawn to you is

I wanted to be alone

Alone

Alone

(I strayed so long, just to find out you were wrong

I stayed so long, just to find out you were wrong)

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

And I run when hearts are open

Only want it if it's broken

Alone

And all I ever wanted was to be alone

Alone
