California Coast
The New Electric Sound Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driving down the California Coast.

I think that we should get up out of here,
I feel like we could use a change,
I′m sick of staring at this atmosphere,
I need some sunlight on my brain.

Oh... Oh...
Driving down the California Coast.

I feel like I might just get used to this,
I think that we could learn to change,
Pull my sunglasses over all my cares,
Take off my shirt and hit the waves.

Oh... Oh...
Driving down the California Coast.

Out here I feel alright,
I don't want to leave tonight,
How ′bout we stay out here,
Forever.

Oh... Oh...
Driving down the California Coast.
Driving down to California,




Driving down to California,
Driving down to California.
