about

Our latest single "Coast to Coast" is a nostalgic reflection on the naivety of young love filled with happy harmonies and rays of sunshine.

lyrics

I was 18 years old, it was a cruel, cruel summer.
Dropped out of college, I fell in love with a drummer.
We talked for hours about Daniel Johnston and Beck,
In the time of chimpanzees, I was a loved-up wreck.

But soon you will find,
You're more into the good time.
You're more into the good time,
then you are of me!

True love is hard to find,
I can't love you like I love you all the time.
Now that you're going away,
we're pretending like we're perfect so don't you stay.
That's when I like you the most,
When our love is coast to coast.

I was fooling myself
When I let you keep coming 'round.
I held onto the magic, until the magic all died down.
[Died down]
Now I'm getting on a plane, a one-way ticket to Halifax.
And when we're two-thousand miles apart, you'll be wanting me back.

But soon, you will see.
You never wanted all of me.
You never wanted all of me,
And you sing. You sing:

True love is hard to find,
I can't love you like I love you all the time.
Now that you're going away,
we're pretending like we're perfect so don't you stay.
That's when I like you the most,
When our love is coast to coast.

True love is hard to find,
I can't love you like I love you all the time.
Now that you're going away,
we're pretending like we're perfect so don't you stay.
That's when I like you the most,
[I like you]
That's when I like you the most,
[I don't like you]
That's when I like you the most
[I like you]
When we're apart.
