Did we get left out or did we just get left behind?
I said baby, I think we're going to own this time
But that's okay cause either way
I know that we'll be fine

And while the east coast has it's back turned
We can pack our things and leave
Catch the Mississippi off guard
And bring the west coast to our knees

Forget the future, forget the past
This is right now, so take my hand
Cause this is east coast dreaming
A small town believing in big city dreams

It's west coast envy and me pretending that this is everything
So turn it up (turn it up)
And don't, don't give it up (give it up)
No, no we won't give up

Let's head up to California,
Maybe stop in Carolina
And I know this place in Mississippi
Sure to make you wonder about them

We'll I've got you, and you've got me
And I swear to God that that's all we need
Because we're so far from home
And we've still got so far to go

This is east coast dreaming
A small town believing in big city dreams
West coast envy, and me pretending
That this is everything

So turn it up (turn it up)
And don't, don't give it up (give it up)
No, no we won't give up

I've never seen the west coast
And I know that you haven't either
We can pack up our lives
And leave them behind

I've got you, and you've got me
That's all we need

This is east coast dreaming
A small town believing in big city dreams
It's west coast envy, and me pretending
That this is everything

East coast dreaming
A small town believing in big city dreams
West coast envy, and me pretending
That this is everything

East coast dreaming
A small town believing in big city dreams
West coast envy, and me pretending
That this is everything I wanted to be
