Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's salt on the steering wheel
And God in the static again
California keeps glowing like something that doesn't know how to end

Ten and two, wedding band clicking against leather
The ocean and radio kept pace with my breath
Thinking this was the sound of love

[Chorus]
White lines, blue water, golden light west
Pacific Coast Highway
Salt upon my hands, Pacific Coast Highway
Gold across the sand, Pacific Coast Highway
The ocean never sleeps, Pacific Coast Highway
Keeps calling like it remembers me

[Verse 2]
Palm trees sway with the wind
Telephone lines hung above my head
And the cliffs gave themselves to the sea, stone becoming sand
And if I give myself away to the silence and decay
Could I still be the man I am today?

[Chorus]
Pacific Coast Highway
Salt upon my hands, Pacific Coast Highway
Gold across the sand, Pacific Coast Highway
Morning on repeat, Pacific Coast Highway
Keeps calling like it remembers me

[Verse 3]
Passed a church with the windows down
Cross on the hill, sun bleeding out
I almost stopped, then missed the turn
Kept driving south just to watch it burn
The road went quiet around Big Sur
I said something out loud
I'm not sure who it was for

[Chorus]
Pacific Coast Highway
Salt upon my hands, Pacific Coast Highway
Gold across the sand, Pacific Coast Highway
Morning on repeat, Pacific Coast Highway
Keeps calling like it remembers me

[Outro]
Salt on the steering wheel
God in the static
Again
