Last Call
Coastbound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This is the last call to run with us kid
The grass is greener
The roads are clearer
On the other side
(The other side)
Feel my breath down your throat
I'm not the one to speak for
I'm not the one to speak for you
I'm not the one to speak for
I'm not you
Are you okay with the way things were this year
Let's be honest we thought this was more than it is
And I'm okay with the things you want me to hear
Like your promise to want this no matter
Let's disappear
We want what we can't have
Cut my throat and throw me back
We want what we can't have
I've got dreams and you've got baggage
This never felt good enough
Small town love and small town lust
Stuck up girls and college sluts
It was never enough, It was never enough
We're not the ones to speak for
We're not the ones to speak for you
We're not the ones to speak for
We're not you
Are you okay with the way things were this year
Let's be honest we thought this was more than it is
And I'm okay with the things you want me to hear
Like your promise to want this no matter
Let's disappear
Take control of this fragile situation
I got money to spare and weeks 'till graduation
We can find our way on the coast of California
Don't you wanna take off and run
We all want new lives and we want new friends
This is the last call to run with us kid
We all want new lives and we want new friends
This is the last call to run
Are you okay with the way things were this year
Let's be honest we thought this was more than it is
And I'm okay with the things you want me to hear
Like your promise to want this no matter
Let's disappear
We all want new lives and we want new friends
This is the last call to run with us kid
We all want new lives and we want new friends
This is the last call to run with us kid

Everyone wants to start fresh and make new acquaintances
This is the last call to run with us kid
This is the final opportunity to escape with us
The grass is greener
The unknown looks more appealing
The roads are clearer
The future seems more promising
On the other side
Over there, away from here
Feel my breath down your throat
Intense anticipation and anxiety
Feel my breath take control of you
Overwhelming emotions taking over
I'm not the one to speak for
I am not fit to represent anyone
I'm not you
I am not in your position
Are you okay with the way things were this year
Are you satisfied with how things turned out this year
Let's be honest we thought this was more than it is
We overestimated the significance of this
And I'm okay with the things you want me to hear
I accept the things you say to appease me
Like your promise to want this no matter
Your vow to stay committed to this situation
Let's disappear
Let's escape without leaving a trace
We want what we can't have
We desire the unattainable
Cut my throat and throw me back
Violently reject and discard me
I've got dreams and you've got baggage
I have aspirations but you carry emotional burdens
This never felt good enough
This was never satisfactory
Small town love and small town lust
The limits of love and attraction in a small town
Stuck up girls and college sluts
Arrogant and promiscuous female stereotypes
It was never enough, It was never enough
This situation was always lacking
We're not the ones to speak for
We cannot represent anyone else
Are you okay with the way things were this year
Are you content with how events unfolded this year
Take control of this fragile situation
Assume command of this delicate scenario
I got money to spare and weeks 'till graduation
I have ample funds and a short time left to finish school
We can find our way on the coast of California
We can explore along the California shoreline together
Don't you wanna take off and run
Won't you escape with me
We all want new lives and we want new friends
Everyone longs for a fresh start and new companions
This is the last call to run with us kid
This is the final offer to flee with us
