Katrielle Jordan - Somewhere on the East Coast Lyrics

Somewhere on the East Coast
Living by a wishing well
Is someone only God knows
Asking for someone to help her
I don't think the time goes
As quickly when it's
Raining on the ocean
Somewhere by the harbor
Is someone who is harder to
Believe in when she's scared
Cause the fear creeps up inside her
Skipping meals and biding time
Wanting freedom
Sipping wine has her devotion

Does she know that it scares me
Half to death
When she goes out with
Her friends?
When her boyfriend doesn't let her
Leave his basement?
Does she know that it keeps
Me up at night?
Hoping she got home alright
Hope she didn't drink and drive
The wrong car at the wrong time

Somewhere up in Boston
Is someone who is lost in
Something bigger than a prison
More twisted than a maze
And I am so amazed by
Her ability to keep
Her head on straight
Smoke fills up her basement
Her dad's intoxicated
With a temporary fix
To a contemporary issue
Flipping tables, fighting crime
He just wants a little time
With his bloodline

I wonder if she knows how
I turn into a mess
When I hear what her parents
Did to take away defenses
She's entitled to?
She knows that it keeps me
Up at night
Wondering if she's safe inside
Kneeling down beside my bedside
Just to try to save her

I wonder if they know how
In every prayer I pray
Somewhere mentioned is their names
Hope they get to feel
The blanket of protection
And though we don't always see
Eye-to-eye
They wear high heels just to try
And I kneel down so we
Meet in the middle
Do they know what I'd
Do to keep them safe?
Hope they sense it in the rain
Every droplet on their cheeks is
Sent by me
And I hope it shows
I hope you know
All the lengths that
I would go to
How I'd drop it all to
Meet you if you needed me
Lord, give them strength
To hold up shields of faith
Let them hold up through the rain
Through the pain
They're always healing
Always healing
Always

I always find them somewhere
They always wind up somewhere
Somewhere on the East Coast
