Every song with a broken heart Says drive out to the coast Damn my luck when I show up That’s where I feel you most So I drove up to Seattle Where they say it always rains But even on a cloudy day
You cast a long shadow Even the highway can’t outrun Somehow you’re always standing Between me and the sun No matter how far You follow my heart New York to California You cast a long shadow don’t ya You cast a long shadow don’t ya
Oh I know I can’t stay here I know I can’t home Maybe I gotta cross an ocean To finally shake your ghost Could I fly faster than your memory To the ends of the earth Cause hometown goodbyes are a world of hurt
You cast a long shadow Even the highway can’t outrun Somehow you’re always standing Between me and the sun No matter how far You follow my heart New York to California You cast a long shadow don’t ya You cast a long shadow don’t ya
Dive bar smoke on a leather jacket I can’t help but hear you laughin’ Dancing with you even after the end Of the song Baby that’s just how you linger on
You cast a long shadow Even the highway can’t outrun Somehow you’re always standing Between me and the sun No matter how far You follow my heart New York to California You cast a long shadow don’t ya You cast a long shadow don’t ya
