Western Shoreline Lyrics by Christa Wells

2020

[Verse 1]
I flew out to Palo Alto from Nashville in mid-July
I felt the sea salt burning in my lungs so keenly I could cry
'Cause I love my little front porch and waking up in my own bed
But I'd been home for a while, I was getting lost inside my head
[Verse 2]
I drove up to Monte Bello for a solitary climb
But I met a man who knew the trails‚ we walked the last few miles
He told me we were standing on the San Andreas Fault
If it opened we'd both be goners within a minute‚ ready or not
[Chorus]
Well‚ I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm dead-set on being alive
So give me something to stop my heartbeat
Like the western shoreline
[Verse 3]
I looked over the Pacific from the height of Mussel Rock
And I saw the waves come rolling with the current of my thoughts
Four decades I was breathing without filling up my lungs
Now I'm headed for the edge, I'm running right into the sun
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm dead-set on being alive
So give me something to stop my heartbeat
Like the western shoreline
[Bridge]
I need California
California
There's a faultline in my soul
There was a day three years ago
When the earth beneath my feet just fell away
I was swallowed by the sea
I heard a song rise from the deep
I've never felt so alone, or so safe
Just like California
California
[Chorus]
I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm dead-set on being alive
So give me something to stop my heartbeat
Like the western shoreline
I'm not afraid of dying
But I'm dead-set on being alive
So give me something to take my breath away
Like the western shoreline
Give me something to stop my heartbeat
Like the western shoreline
