Oregon Coast

I miss the beach on the Oregon coast And my friends from the USA Maybe I'll go back there someday I looked forward to this every summer Our cousins came with us every other year An eight hour drive from Canada, but totally worth it This is the place we knew, the place we knew Feels like home, away from home The Oregon coast Taking in the beach vibes Turned up the volume on the highway drives Went back to town to the candy shop For the best saltwater taffy and a colorful lollipop Running around town in the night Playing cops and robbers At the fort we always played capture the flag I wasn't the fastest, but I slayed This is the place we knew, the place we knew Feels like home, away from home The Oregon coast But then one day, the exchange rate got bad We didn't go to Oregon, I was sad But that's okay, there were alternatives to our plan Go with the flow, they say There's always next year, and next year came so fast I didn't realize how much time has passed I was so excited once again to see my friends I didn't miss out on the hugs this time I knew that only a week of time is so short Distant friendships aren't going to be easy But I'll make it work Someday I'll come back to this beautiful place The Oregon coast
