Station on the Shore

[Intro]
[Verse]
Left the salt in the air
With the wind in my hair
Eighteen and so driven
For the life I was given
Packed the keys in the dash
Chasing dreams for the cash
I was gone in a blur
Leaving all that we were
Just a boy with a guitar
Trying to reach for a star
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the neon light flickers
And the heartbeat gets quicker
Is it too late to stay?
Did I throw it away?
I traded the ocean
For a hollow emotion
[Chorus]
Meet me at the station
No more hesitation
I missed the way you shine
When you were truly mine
The waves keep on calling
While the stars are all falling
Can we start it again?
My oldest best friend
[Post-Chorus]
At the station (ooh, ooh)
By the shore (ooh, ooh)
Like we were before
At the station (ooh, ooh)
By the shore (ooh, ooh)
I don't wanna leave no more
[Verse]
Pulled up in a rental
Feeling low, sentimental
Saw you at the glass door
Like a ghost from before
Same smile, different life
Sharp edge like a knife
You recognized my face
In this quiet little place
Stopped to fill up the tank
While my memory went blank
[Pre-Chorus]
Now the neon light flickers
And the heartbeat gets quicker
Is it too late to stay?
Did I throw it away?
I traded the ocean
For a hollow emotion
[Chorus]
Meet me at the station
No more hesitation
I missed the way you shine
When you were truly mine
The waves keep on calling
While the stars are all falling
Can we start it again?
My oldest best friend
[Bridge]
The piano plays low
Where did the time go?
We were king and the queen
Of a world left unseen
Now the 808s thumping
And my chest is just jumping
I'm sorry I left you
I'm sorry I kept you
Waiting on a promise
Let's just be honest
[Verse]
I told you about the stage
Turning every single page
You told me 'bout the shop
How the rain doesn't stop
Gave me digits on a scrap
Falling right into the trap
Maybe I'll call you tonight
Maybe we'll make it alright
I’m tired of the city
And the girls who act pretty
I just want the pier
And to have you right here
[Chorus]
Meet me at the station
No more hesitation
I missed the way you shine
When you were truly mine
The waves keep on calling
While the stars are all falling
Can we start it again?
My oldest best friend
[Post-Chorus]
At the station (ooh, ooh)
By the shore (ooh, ooh)
Like we were before
At the station (ooh, ooh)
By the shore (ooh, ooh)
I don't wanna leave no more
[Outro]
