lyrics

VERSE:
Do you remember when,
We'd go out and skate late at night,
Watch the waves roll by,
And wonder if our lives
meant more than changing tides?

CHORUS:
So raise your glass,
And make a toast,
Cause the coastlines all we got (It's all we've got).

And when the sun comes up,
And sheds its light on us
we'll all be,
Falling...
Down, down, down, down.

I want to waste my nights away,
Talking shit with all my friends,
It's all i've got,
It's all i need,
And i'm never coming...
Down.

VERSE:
I would spend my nights sitting by the shore,
Sipping from a bottle with all my friends until,
Until i realized...

With every sip i took,
Time would slip,
Between my fingers,
Which i allowed to linger...

On the lips of girls who only let
love flow,
Between their hips.

CHORUS:
So raise your glass,
And make a toast,
Cause the coastlines all we got (it's all we've got).

And when the sun comes up,
And sheds its light on us,
We'll all be,
Falling...

BRIDGE:
But the winter came,
And froze the ocean over,
So even setting fires by the shore,
Won't be enough,
To keep us warm.

To keep us warm.

CHORUS/OUTRO:
So raise your glass,
And make a toast,
Cause the coastlines all we got (It's all we've got).

And when the sun comes up,
And sheds its light on us
we'll all be,
Falling,
Down, down, down, down.

I want to waste my nights away,
Talking shit with all my friends,
It's all i've got,
It's all i need,
And i'm never coming...
Home.
