I look back at this town I used to know
Back then, it was a haven I called home
Years have passed, they've only worn me down
I see you shining on the West coast
You got out (Yeah, you got out!)
I'm stoked for you (I'm stoked for you!)
I've got my friends (Yeah, I've got my friends!)
And my family too (My family too!)
But I'm still here, stuck in the same state
Wondering, am I wasting away?
It's bittersweet, watching you chase your dreams
While I'm still chasing something that's out of reach
You're so far away, but I hope you know
I'm cheering you on, from the East coast
You shine so bright, it's a life I can't have
When we were young, I dreamt I'd be with you there
But in a flash the time was all gone, I fell behind
And the further I fell, the further you climbed
You got out (Yeah, you got out!)
I'm stoked for you (I'm stoked for you!)
I've got my friends (Yeah, I've got my friends!)
And my family too (My family too!)
But I'm still here, stuck in the same state
Wondering, am I wasting away?
It's bittersweet, watching you chase your dreams
While I'm still chasing something that's out of reach
You're so far away, but I hope you know
I'm cheering you on, from the East coast
Do you hate me? (I couldn't keep up!)
Couldn't keep up (I don't know what I've done!)
Don't hate me (I swear I wanted to go!)
It's life I can't have (I think my life just caught up!)
Do you hate me? I wouldn't blame you
I'm wasting away into nothing you know
Don't hate me, I can do it myself
I think my life just caught up
But I'm still here, stuck in the same state
Wondering, am I wasting away?
It's bittersweet, watching you chase your dreams
While I'm still chasing something that's out of reach
You're so far away, but I hope you know
I'm cheering you on, from the East coast
