[Verse 1] Paid the toll at dusk You were riding shotgun Paper map on your knees Salt on the dashboard We laughed at the wrong turns Then found the same road Windows down, hair wild Sea wind in the backseat [Pre-Chorus] And I still see it That burn in the sky You looked at me like We had all night [Chorus] Take me back to the coast Take me back to you I was young enough to hope And old enough to know Take me back to the coast Take me back to you Every wave says your name Every mile comes through [Verse 2] Now the harbor lights fade But I keep that picture Two hands on the wheel And your laugh in the mirror That old highway song Still plays in my memory Sweet as a first kiss Sharp as a cold sea breeze [Pre-Chorus] And I still feel it When the evening falls Your voice in the dark Pulling me home [Chorus] Take me back to the coast Take me back to you I was young enough to hope And old enough to know Take me back to the coast Take me back to you Every wave says your name Every mile comes through [Bridge] Maybe time moved on Maybe that’s the deal But some summers stay Like they’re made of gold If I close my eyes I can taste the rain On your open mouth On that long, long drive [Final Chorus] Take me back to the coast Take me back to you I was young enough to hope And old enough to know Take me back to the coast Take me back to you Every wave says your name Every mile comes through Take me back to the coast Take me back to you I still chase that glow When the evening cools
