Coast Lyrics

[Intro: Anderson .Paak]
Coast

[Verse 1: Hailee Steinfeld]
You're the wave upon my ocean
Poundin' rhythm and motion
It's a full moon kind of night, yeah
I don't wanna go home yet
You can question my devotion
Wear my heart on my shoulder
Just relax and let the riptide pull you close

[Chorus: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
(Ah)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (You)
Energy, the body flows
(Ah, hey, hey)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (You)
Frequency of all we know (Yeah)

[Verse 2: Anderson .Paak]
Feelin' like I caught a wave with ya
I've been dealin' with a lot of changes
And all the people that I like to hang with
They all been sayin' that I ain't the same
Listen, I been chillin' with you for a couple days
If you ain't afraid, me and you should rage (Rage)
In the Sun rays (Rays), come on out the cage (Cage)
Don't wanna tame, live it your way (Ayy)
Body go for days (Days), got me in a daze (Daze)
Parties in L.A. (A) feel like holidays
Hit the PCH and we on our way
To a place I was born and raised

You live on the screen and the stage
I wanna fit in between your legs
Let's pick a day, everything could wait
Words can't relay, but it's givin' fate
[Chorus: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
(Ah)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (You)
Energy, the body flows
(Ah, hey, hey)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (You)
Frequency of all we know (Coast)

[Post-Chorus: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
'Cause nothin' feels as real when we're connected (Coast)
Relax and let the riptide pull you close
(Ah)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (You)
Frequency of all we know

[Bridge: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
The stars come down, you drown 'em out
I'm sinkin' deeper into you
I breathe you in, I breathe you out
I'm sinkin' deeper into (Hey)

[Chorus: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
(Ah)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (With you)
Energy, the body flows (We could cruise if the mood's right)
(Ah, catch a wave in the moonlight)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (With you)
Frequency of all we know (Coast)
[Post-Chorus: Hailee Steinfeld & Anderson .Paak]
'Cause nothin' feels as real when we're connected (Coast)
Relax and let the riptide pull you close
(Ah)
Baby, all I wanna do is coast (Coast)
With you (With you)
Frequency of all we know

What did Hailee Steinfeld say about "Coast"?
Genius Answer

I am so happy to finally be able to share “Coast” with the world. This song is deeply personal to me and was influenced by my California roots and the music I grew up listening to with my family. The only artist I envisioned collaborating with on this track was my friend, Anderson .Paak. Knowing he loved the song enough to lend his genius to it is absolutely surreal, and I am forever grateful to have his support. This is only the beginning and I can’t wait to share the rest of what’s to come with you all soon.
