East Coast
Paul Hayden Desser
Oh I need you now
Like I needed you then,
Like I’ll need you till the end
But I can’t recall
This feeling at all.
And I want you now
Like I wanted you then
Like I’ll want you till the end
But it sure appears
The surface is near.
And just
like that we were steered
Now we’re
what I most fear
Oh the East Coast sure was clear
I must fight for you my dear.
Oh I love you now
Like I loved you then
Like I’ll love you till the end
But I can’t refuse
This kind of blue.
Through partial ocean sprayed views
A darkness ensues
And as we become something new
You must fight for me too
You must fight for me too.
