Coppertone Lyrics

Cover art for Coppertone lyrics by Hellogoodbye

"joe wrote most of these words so i should let him write this one.

hi. joe here. when forrest approached me about writing the lyrics for this song i was a little apprehensive because musically it was already one of my favorite songs on the record and i didn't want to muck it up. but because of that very reason, i really wanted to be a part of it lyrically and decided to give it a shot. the lyrics have a nautical / lighthouse theme because i love the imagery of a rocky new england shore. so beautiful and inviting but dangerous and unpredictable at he same time. the second theme is my general neurosis. i spend a lot of time worrying over things that may have not even happened. i feel like in my relationship, i'm often over thinking situations while Holly, my fiance, is strong and confident. basically, i need to spend less time analyzing things in my head and just enjoy every moment."
