The Coast Is Always Changing - Maxïmo Park

I’ve met so many people who look the same

Most were forgotten but you still remain

Most of the time, I don’t care

But London’s so far away when you are there

And so it saddens me to say

I’m only happy when I move away

I am young and I am lost

Every sentence has its cost

I am young and I am lost

You react to my riposte

We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea

The coast is always changing

I’ll bring my camera out to sea

The coast is always changing

Age makes no difference 'til you open your mouth

Use your time just to work things out

I know that you can’t understand

When I tell you that this wasn’t planned

And so it saddens me to say

I’m only happy when I move away

I am young and I am lost

Every sentence has its cost

I am young and I am lost

You react to my riposte

We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea

The coast is always changing

We’ll take the train out to the sea

My heart is always changing

It won’t be long before you’ve gone

I can’t imagine leaving

It won’t be long before you’ve gone

I can’t imagine leaving

It won’t be long before you’ve gone

I can’t imagine leaving

It won’t be long before you’ve gone

I can’t imagine leaving

We look out upon the sea

We look out upon the sea

The coast is always changing

I’ll bring my camera out to sea

My heart is always changing

We’ll take the train out to the sea

My pulse was always racing

As we look out upon the sea

The coast is always changing

And though it saddens me to stay

I’m still waiting for that day
