Coin Toss Girl
The Bouncing Souls Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When she's so cold to me
I'm always in trouble, I never know why
She has two sides, she changes her mind
I just wanna get off this ride
Step aside and let the storm pass me by

When it's good it's great
And we lay side by side
She curls up in my arms
Everything is all right
Don't wanna kill these good vibes
Still it happens all the time
There's no reason why

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do?
My coin toss girl

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do? What can I do?
My coin toss girl

When she's so cold to me
I'm always in trouble no matter what I try
I get denied, happens all the time
It's a roller coaster ride
Thrills and spills so sky high
I'm so glad she's mine
Yeah, a million reasons why

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do?
My coin toss girl

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do? What can I do?
My coin toss girl

I think I'd like to marry her
I think I'd like to bury her
I think I'd like to marry her
I think I'd like to bury her

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do?
My coin toss girl

Call it in the air, everything's fair
I love you like a fool, what can I do? What can I do?
My coin toss girl
My coin toss girl
Oh yeah, my coin toss girl

I play it so cool, I love you like a fool




My coin toss girl
Oh yeah, my coin toss girl

Overall Meaning

The Bouncing Souls's song Coin Toss Girl is a complex love song about a woman who is constantly changing her mind, leaving the singer constantly guessing and unsure of what is going to happen next. The lyrics portray a relationship that is both thrilling and tumultuous, filled with intense highs and lows. The line "when it's good it's great, and we lay side by side" contrasts sharply with the line "when she's so cold to me, I'm always in trouble no matter what I try," highlighting the unpredictability of the woman the singer loves. The repeated chorus of "call it in the air, everything's fair, I love you like a fool, what can I do, my coin toss girl" underscores the theme of uncertainty in the relationship, with the repeated coin toss representing the singer's inability to predict the outcome of his relationship with this woman.


Overall, the song is a powerful meditation on the ups and downs of romantic love, and the frustrations and pleasures that come from being in a relationship with someone who is unpredictable and changing.

This tension between love and frustration is at the heart of the song, and ultimately gives it a depth and complexity that will resonate with many listeners.

I can see myself listening to this in the car going down some hometown streets, feels like a good summertime song. Definitely a break from the metal sound Rise puts out, and what a good break it is.

Why is it that the only good punk bands on Rise are usually the ones with the most dislikes? I just fucking love the 50's doo-wop vibe in this. The Souls did good.

This is a really great punk love song, and the retro vibe music video is cool too! Why so much hate on good music?? Bouncing Souls rock!
