Western Shoreline-Christa Wells

[00:05.166]I flew out to Palo Alto from Nashville in mid-July [00:11.666]I felt the sea salt burning in my lungs so keenly I could cry [00:18.469]'Cause I love my little front porch and waking up in my own bed [00:24.455]But I'd been home for a while, I was getting lost inside my head [00:32.273]I drove up to Monte Bello for a solitary climb [00:38.608]But I met a man who knew the trails‚ we walked the last few miles [00:45.411]He told me we were standing on the San Andreas Fault [00:51.368]If it opened we'd both be goners within a minute‚ ready or not [00:59.668]Well‚ I'm not afraid of dying [01:02.278]But I'm dead set on being alive [01:05.149]So give me something to stop my heartbeat [01:08.500]Like the western shoreline [01:15.020]I looked over the Pacific from the height of Mussel Rock [01:21.319]And I saw the waves come rolling with the current of my thoughts [01:27.873]For decades I was breathing without filling up my lungs [01:33.845]Now I'm headed for the edge and I'm running right into the sun [01:40.556]'Cause I'm not afraid of dying [01:43.187]But I'm dead set on being alive [01:46.267]So give me something to stop my heartbeat [01:49.663]Like the western shoreline [01:53.081]I need California [02:00.693]California [02:05.700]There's a faultline in my soul [02:08.566]There was a day three years ago [02:12.201]When the earth beneath my feet just fell away [02:17.968]I was swallowed by the sea [02:21.349]I heard a song rise from the deep [02:24.504]I've never felt so alone, so safe [02:30.793]Just like California [02:37.850]California [02:44.378]I'm not afraid of dying [02:46.707]But I'm dead set on being alive [02:49.576]So give me something to stop my heartbeat [02:52.958]Like the western shoreline [02:56.101]I'm not afraid of dying [02:59.204]But I'm dead set on being alive [03:02.073]So give me something to take my breath away [03:05.463]Like the western shoreline [03:08.590]Give me something to stop my heartbeat [03:11.728]Like the western shoreline
