When she called my sneakers tennis shoes
I knew she was from the west coast
Or the best coast
Like she'd say and I had to disagree

I fell in love with a ship
A vessel with at least 20 holes
Yeah but she still floats
I fell in love with the sea
A brilliant tidal wave
She devastated me

Come back home
And bring those green eyes
Oh when are you coming home?

I fell in love with a queen, a king
She burnt my village down
I paid her with love and taxes
I fell in love with a street sign that told me where to go
Oh why do I go anywhere?

Come back home
And bring those green eyes
When are you coming home?
Get back here
Cause baby these blue eyes
Are never as bright without you
