East Coast Lover
Right Click And Save Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When everything was all different
We didn't really know each other then
I didn't know how much you made me so
I guess it was all pretend when
You decided you're those all are different things.
I don't think that it was all that bad.
Especially that time in Princeton was nice.
Now we wait
Try not to be not so different
Than we have in the past
You made me so but I don't know
To everything I'll hope again.
I never wanna be not so here (x5)
I never wanna be not so here again.
The lyrics of Right Click And Save's "East Coast Lover" depict nostalgia for a time in the past when things were different and unknown. The singer reminisces about a time when he didn't know the person he's addressing, but eventually discovered how much they meant to him. However, the relationship might have been built on pretense, and things changed when the other person decided they wanted something different. Despite this, the singer sees the good in the situation, particularly in a memory of a nice time spent together in Princeton.
The last part of the song revolves around a desire to stay connected and not lose the closeness the two shared. The repetition of the line "I never wanna be not so here again" shows that the singer wants to put effort into the relationship and not drift apart. It's a song about looking back at a relationship with a mixture of love, regret, and hope for the future.

The power ballads of the 80’s were the best ever, and I had some of the best memories from those years. Plus life was so much easier, and families weren’t just the people in your home, but your neighbors were like family too. ❤
