Well, there's a perfect explanation
For the shit that I've been in
As soon as I find out I'll let you know
And if it's any consolation
Well, your horse is going to win
‘Cause mine and all the others are just
Too slow

There's a coastline
I'd like to go back
And if you don't mind
I'm going to turn ‘round in my tracks

It's good to be back
Down the coastline
We lost contact
And I hope that you don't mind
I was trying to save us both some time

There's a coastline
I'd like to go back
And if you don't mind
I'm going to turn ‘round in my tracks

It's good to be back
Down the coastline
We lost contact
And I hope that you don't mind
I was trying to save us both some time
