West Coast
Coconut Records Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning

For a second there I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you
Standin' all alone in a black coat

I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
Tonight I think I'll be stayin' here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you
Standin' all alone in a black coat

I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

(Come on everybody)

Lalalala, lalalala
Lalalala, lalalala

So pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Do I let her sleep or should I wake her up
You said, we both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you're still around, no no

And I miss you
I m goin' back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase

I love you
Standin' all alone in a black coat

I miss you
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

(Lalalala, lalalala)
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

(Lalalala, lalalala)
I'm goin' back home to the west coast

Lalalala
Lalalala

Line by Line Meaning

For a second there I thought you disappeared
I briefly thought you had vanished


It rains a lot this time of year
This season has abundant rainfall


And we both go together if one falls down
We support each other in difficult times


I talk out loud like you're still around, no no
I speak as if you're still present


And I miss you
I feel a strong absence of you


I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I'm returning to the western part of the country


I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I wish you could have come with me


Standin' all alone in a black coat
I'm standing by myself in dark clothing


And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
If you try hard enough, you can find her


Tonight I think I'll be stayin' here
I plan to stay here tonight


And you never did like this town
You never enjoyed this place


I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I'm returning to the western part of the country


(Come on everybody)


So pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Let's pack quickly to beat time


Do I let her sleep or should I wake her up
Should I let her rest or wake her?


Yeah right, heh
Sarcastic agreement


(Lalalala, lalalala)


I'm goin' back home to the west coast
I'm returning to the western part of the country

I love you
I have strong affection for you


I miss you
I feel a strong absence of you

For a second there, I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you’re still around

[Chorus]
And I miss you
I’m going back home to the west coast
I wish you would have put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standing all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I’m going back home to the west coast


[Verse 2]
And if you shake her heart enough, she will appear
Tonight, I think I'll be staying here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you’re still around

I’m going back home to the west coast
I wish you would have put yourself in my suitcase

West Coast Songtext
For a second there I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
No, no

And I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast
I wish you would've put yourself in my suitcase
I love you, standing all alone in a black coat
I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast

And if you shake her hard enough, she will appear
Tonight, I think I'll be staying here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around
No, no

And I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast
I wish you would've put yourself in my suitcase
I love you, standing all alone in a black coat
I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast

Come on, everybody

So, pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Do I let her sleep or should I wake her up?
You said
We both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
No, no

And I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast
I wish you would've put yourself in my suitcase
I love you, standing all alone in a black coat
I miss you, I'm going back home to the west coast

Going back home to the west coast
Going back home to the west coast

I lost my boyfriend to his battle with depression two weeks ago today. He used to play this every chance he got because he loved it that much. Just remembering how happy he looked listening to this made me come back to stream it now and I can’t hold back the tears. I’m so glad I have another memory of him through this song.

Keinan

im so sorry

I'm so sorry for your loss, yet at the same time I'm happy that you got the time with him that you did. ❤️

You must have never heard any Islands songs then. This song is great but if you like songs like this, then you'd love Islands.
