Lyrics

Moved to the West Coast
Just a dream and a busted phone
Sunrise on the boardwalk alone
Park bench at the pier

And that moment of destiny
Like you're looking
Forward through history
A stranger walks up says cautiously
Is anyone sitting here?

When you love somebody
You can give your heart away
To the wrong body
In the right way

So hurry up, fuck it up
Make all your mistakes
So you'll be brokenhearted
In the right way

And eyes meet to start the story
The coming tragedy the glory
Until you wake up one morning
And walk out without fear

Then stranger’s lips in sleeper cars
Then broken english broken hearts
Each time you catch a shooting star
Walk forward without fear

When you love somebody
You can give your heart away
To the wrong body
In the right way

So hurry up, fuck it up
Make all your mistakes
So you'll be brokenhearted
In the right way

Pouring rain in the convertible
Final kisses at the terminal
Is every golden boy and silver girl
Fading to make room

In the water over your head
Shadow figures over your bed
Weaving all your old threads
Into something new

I saw you
You saw me too

When you love somebody
You can give your heart away
To the wrong body
In the right way

So hurry up, fuck it up
Make all your mistakes
So you'll be brokenhearted
In the right way
