[Verse 1]
I went to the west coast
And sat on the shore
The waves have stolen my heart
And now I don't wanna go home
And maybe I’m chasing folly

[Verse 2]
I met a girl there
She asked me to stay
The ocean's music stirs my soul
I drifted away
Maybe I'm chasing folly

[Chorus]
I want somewhere to lay my head down
I hide but I can’t escape the siren's call
In time all we do fades into the ocean
If all we chase is vanity
Don't you wake me down

[Verse 3]
The words are forgotten
But the music remains
And you echo, you're whole in your sleep
But you're chasing, you're awake
Maybe we're chasing folly
[Verse 4]
It seems so familiar
Like a heart in my hands
But suddenly I'm back in the waves
With the girl I left in the sand
And I was chasing folly

[Chorus]
I want somewhere to lay my head down
I hide but I can’t escape the siren’s call
In time all we do fades into the ocean
If all we chase is vanity
Won't you wake me down

I, I want somewhere to lay my head down
I hide but I can’t escape the siren's call
In time all we do fades into the ocean
If all we chase is vanity
Won't you wake me down

[Verse 5]
I settled down there
Near the music of the waves
But the mountains called their song
And she drifted away
All we chase is vanity
