Shauna Dean Cokeland - Moving In Place Lyrics

Shauna Dean Cokeland - Moving In Place Lyrics

 Did your eyes get wide and all excited?

You were like fifteen, discovered nitrous

Spending every night on empty beaches

With the same four kids you'd never sleep with

Now you're without it

You can't party anymore so you go and make a record about it

The hometown drug scene

Every fourteen year old restless brat's wet dream

Sporting the same shades, same tank top, same blue jeans

Hit the same beach and drink the same vodka sweet tea

Unfairly pass the blame and claim it was generational

Predisposition tourney prestigious, invitational

Like, don't look at me, I wasn't even conceived

When the scheme, the game, became operational

I'm a poser, you said it yourself

Don't expect me not to pose when the cameras come out

You missed the lesson on looking out for yourself

May not be on the up and up, but I'm on the up and out

Take me to the far side of the beach

Before it falls into the ocean

Before you notice I'm eroding

I know you don't wanna be lonely

I know you don't wanna be lonely

The sun and the substances you'd choke down

Combine in your mind for wild lies about how

Your favourite celebrity's car just broke down

They're stranded and they gotta crash at your house

All the kids that were mean to you in school are broke now

On the side of the road asking big shots for handouts

Big shots like you, 'cause look at you, you're awesome

You're laying on the beach like an amputee dolphin

"The world just ain't ready for us yet, that's it"

Says the guy to your left, you would die for that kid

Now watch as his eyes get sorta distant and different

And we're moving in place again

We're moving in place again

It sure is fun to hate something you'll love when it's gone

This time it's everywhere and everyone at once

From moving in place to moving on

To moving on, to moving on, to moving on

Take me to the far side of the beach

Before it falls into the ocean

Before you notice I'm eroding

I know you don't wanna be lonely

I know you don't wanna be lonely

I know 'cause I would feel the same thing

Tomorrow I'm gonna be eighteen

Right now it takes everything in me

To kick and claw and fight against that instinct

To lay down and just sink into the same beach

And get so high that I feel my brain shrink

Justify it's not a massive time waste

Close my eyes, deny I see you sinking

Lay down right beside you in the imprint

I left there that night in 2019

Lean into the tide and let it take me

Eyes get wide and all excited

Like fifteen, discovered nitrous

Spending every night on empty beaches

With the same four kids
