West Coast Lyrics
For a second there i thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
No noo
And i miss you (ooooh…)
I’m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
And if you shake her heart enough she will appear
Tonight i think i'll be stayin here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around
No nooo
And i miss you (ooooh…)
I'm goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Come on everybody
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
So pack up the bags to beat back the clock
Do i let her sleep or should i wake her up
You said
We both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you’re still around
No noo
And i miss you (ooooh…)
I m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I 'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaa
Lalalalaa
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
I’m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Tonight i think i'll be stayin here
And you never did like this town
I talk out loud like you're still around
I'm goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Come on everybody
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaa
Do i let her sleep or should i wake her up
You said
We both go together if one falls down
Yeah right, heh
I talk out loud like you’re still around
I m goin back home to the west coast
I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase
I love you
Standin all alone in a black coat
I miss you
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaaaa, lalalalaaaa
I 'm goin back home to the west coast
Lalalalaa

i like that he says 'i wish you would put yourself in my suitcase" instead of i wish i could put you in my suitcase....he knows its up to them to want to come and lets them make the decision. very much how it should be...i think most, including me, be more demanding...or agressive...by saying i wish i could put you in my suitcase...seems like a dude whos got it understood
this song makes me long for the west coast even though i've never been there. it's incredible when songs can evoke feelings like that
i had NO CLUE this was jason schwartzman ! i was watching marie antoinette and then i looked jason up on wikipedia and it said that he started Coconut Records and i was like
NO
FREAKING
WAY.
dies
Aaah I love that film- it has such a beautiful soundtrack. Jason Schawrtzman is hilarious. Coconut records is ridiculously underrated

"And if you shake her heart enough she will appear Tonight i think i'll be stayin here And you never did like this town I talk out loud like you're still around"
I just about die every time I here that verse..
"I talk out loud like you're still around" May be of the most heartwrenching lines I've ever heard.. I love Coconut Records!!
ok. jason schwartzman? wow!
The theme of the song West Coast is best expressed as losing a loved one is never easy. Both stanzas one and two suggest this loved one was lost by saying “I talk out loud like your still around.” and “I miss you, I’m going back home to the west coast.” In the chorus, the narrator says how much they would wish for this loved one to come with them to the west coast. The songs lyrical tone feels somewhat disheartening, although the musical tone differs. For instance, stanza four suggests that this person is not yet dead by saying...

The songs lyrical tone feels somewhat disheartening, although the musical tone differs. For instance, stanza four suggests that this person is not yet dead by saying “if you shake her harder she will appear.” I interpreted this to signify that the person is around physically, but not mentally. At that specific point, the lyrical tone seems even more dispiriting. This is because sometimes knowing you could still spend time with a loved one, but instead having to leave them, can be even more hurtful then fatality. For example, each time you take a glimpse at this person, emotions seem to run right back. Whereas after a loved one passes away, there is no option of ever seeing them again, and so it is best to just move on with life.
i interpretted this song for an english project ha it was super easy to relate to (i live on the west coast) and everyone knows what it feels like losing someone you love!
hope you like it :)
I never would have thought that Jason Schwartzman would put out music, but he did and I love it! It is calm in a fun way (if that makes sense). This is my favorite of the songs because I absolutley love the West Coast! I think that this song is pretty straight forward though. He has been away from his home and his girlfriend for a really long time (probably filming a movie) and is ready to go home, he is preparing to go back into her arms. And then the song transfers a little bit to when he is home and is getting ready to leave which is why he wrote, "I wish you woulda put yourself in my suitcase" The simplicity of the song is what makes it so amazing, I sing it all day long!
amazing song. I love it!!!!! Ahhh!!!
beautiful.
This song has the perfect amount of good beats, and indie taste. It seems like he put alot of thought into this, i hope the rest of the album is just as gooood.
cant get enough of this song!! i got some of the other tracks off of itunes, however none really held a candle to west coast
