Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots
And awake in your house

Hello Seattle, I am a manta ray
Deep beneath the blue waves
I’ll crawl the sandy bottom of Puget Sound
And construct a summer home

Hello Seattle, I am the crescent moon
Shining down on your face
I will disguise myself as a sleeping pill
And descend inside of you

Hello Seattle, I am a cold seahorse
Feeling warm in your sand
I sing about the tide and the ocean surf
Rolling in the evening breeze

Hello Seattle, I am an albatross
On the docks and your boats
I sail above your inlets and interstates
Through the rain and open wind

Hello Seattle, I am an old lighthouse
Throwing beams of bright lights
Red in the morning, blue in the evening sun
Taking heed for everyone

Hello Seattle, I am a mountaineer
In the hills and highlands
I fall asleep in hospital parking lots

Take me above your light
Carry me through the night
Hold me secure in flight
Sing me to sleep tonight

Take me above your light (Hello Seattle, I am)
Carry me though the night (a mountaineer, in the hills)
Hold me secure in flight (And highlands, I fall asleep in hospital)
Sing me to sleep tonight (Parking lots, and awake in your house).

If you’re the bird
Whenever we pretend it’s summer
Then I’m the worm
I know the part, it’s such a bummer

But fair is fair
If my segments get seperated
I’ll scream
And you’ll be there

Close your eyes
(Close my eyes)
So I’d be caught and off of your shoulder
And feel the shine
(Feel the shine)
I’m hooked so toss me over
And cast a line
(Well I’ll try)
I’ll throw a party and greet my undersea friends
(It depends)
As they arrive
(If they arrive)

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With friends like these well,
Who needs enemies?

If I’m your boy
Let’s take a shortcut we remember
And we’ll enjoy
Picking apples in late september like
We’ve done for years
Then we’ll take a long walk
Through the cornfield
And I’ll kiss you
Between the ears

If you’re my girl
Swirl me around your room with feeling
And as we twirl
The glow in the dark stars on your ceiling
Will shine for us
As love sweeps over the room
Cuz we tend to make
Each other blush

You and I left our troubles far behind
But I still have just one more question on my mind
For all my pals who live in the oceans and the seas
With fronds like these well,
Who needs anemones?

You’re the bird, I’m the worm
And it’s plain to see
That we were meant to be

We were meant to be
We were meant to be
We were meant to be.

Please take a long hard look through your text book
‘Cause I’m history
When I strap my helmet on I’ll be long gone
‘Cause I’ve been dying to leave
Yeah, I’ll ride the range and hide all my loose change
In my bedroom
‘Cause riding a dirtbike down a turnpike
Always takes its toll on me

I’ve had just about enough
Of quote, “diamonds in the rough”
Because my backbone is paper thin
Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

If the bombs go off
The sun will still be shining
Because we’ve heard it said that every mushroom cloud
Has a silver lining
(though I’m always undermining too deep to know)
Swallow a drop of gravel and blacktop
‘Cause the road tastes like wintergreen
The wind and the rain smell of oil and octane
Mixed with stale gasoline
I’ll soak up the sound trying to sleep on the wet ground
I’ll get ten minutes give-or-take
‘Cause I just don’t forsee myself getting drowsy
When cold integrity keeps me wide awake

Get me out of this cavern
Or I’ll cave in

I’ll keep my helmet on just in case my head caves in
‘Cause if my thoughts collapse or my framework snaps
It’ll make a mess like you wouldn’t believe
Tie my handlebars to the stars so I stay on track
And if my intentions stray I’ll wrench them away
Then I’ll take my leave and I won’t even look back

I won’t even look back.

This town is colder now
I think it’s sick of us
It’s time to make our move
I’m shakin’ off the rust
I’ve got my heart set
on anywhere but here
I’m staring down myself, counting up the years
Steady hands just take the wheel
Every glance is killing me
Time to make one last appeal for the life I lead

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving, but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone gets scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Ohhh

Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, can you see what I see

They’re tryin’ to come back, all my senses push
Untie the weight bags I never thought I could
Steady feet don’t fail me now,
I’m a run till you can’t walk
But something pulls my focus out, and I’m standing down.

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
But I’ve become what I can’t be
Whoa!!!
Stop and stare
You start to wonder why you’re here not there
And you’d give anything to get what’s fair
But fair ain’t what you really need
Oh, you don’t need

Stop and stare
I think I’m moving but I go nowhere
Yeah, I know that everyone get scared
I’ve become what I can’t be
Oh, do you see what I see?

[Verse 1]
Uh ohh
Now i stared at you
From across the room
Until both my eyes were faded
I was in a rush
I was out of luck
Now I’m so glad that I waited
Well you were almost there
Almost mine…yeah
They say love ain’t fair
But I’m doing fine…

[Chorus]
Cause i swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it isn’t gonna stop
No it just won’t stop
Uh oh oh
Yeah

[Verse 2]
Now you were fine by night
But when the morning light comes
Comfortable as rain on Sunday
And I’m a lucky soul
That holds your hand so tight
Hope you hear this one day
Don’t fool yourself
This is my truth

[Chorus]
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that i waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop

[Interlude]
You take this hand
You take this heart
Steal my bones
From 1000 miles apart
Feels so cold
Felt just like its ten shades of winter
And i need the sun
Ohh yeahh
Oh oh no no yeah yeah

[Chorus]
And i swear it’s you
I swear you
I swear it’s you that it waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear its
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that I’ve waited for
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you that my heart beats for
And it ain’t gonna stop
It just won’t stop
Heyy yeahh
It just won’t stop
No no no no woahh yeah
I swear it’s you
I swear it’s you
Ohh yeah

Watching myself when I’m taking strides but here comes the moon and it feels and it feels like an informer quick run away hide before they see you, you know it is all, all a glow

Walking on water seems parlays now you got my trust and it feels, and it feels like sabotage when I’m pulling triggers back on myself you know it is all I know, is all I know

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt
From the outtt tyrant
Tyrant tyranttt

Feel capable of most anything this crippled bears gonna sing gonna bring you all the years is quick turn around look your shadows could could not beautiful lies for you is what they do ..

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt
From the outtt tyrant
Tyrant tyranttt
I’ll stay with apathy im blind but I can see the tyrant to the bone
I’ll stay with apathy im blind but I can see

Don’t justify me
Don’t justify me
Don’t justify meeeeeee
No nononononon

And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt
And it feels so real from the outside looking in
And it feels so real from the outside
From the outtttt

Tyrant tyrant tyrant oooo ooo ooo

Patience
Took you for everything
Looked like a diamond ring
You are so much longer
That made sense
Apathy in disguise
Crept on you like a spy
Hurt you in ways
You can’t describe

Bridge
Back to the start now
I wont let you go this way now

Chorus
Honesty
Is what you need
It sets you free
Like someone to save you
Let it go
But hurry now
Theres undertow
And I don’t want to lose you now

All right
Sit down and spill your heart
Lets start from the very start
Cause i can see by your eyes
You’re wasted
Your energy comes and goes
You taking your time, you know
Nothing can change what happened, you know

Bridge
Chorus

Now
Now
Oh my
Look at your bright stars fade so
How much can you take?

Chorus

Na Na Na Na Na Na Na (x14)
I said to save you
Save you
Save you
Someone to save you
What you need is
Someone to save you

Do you know where your heart is
Do you think you can find it
Did you trade it for something, somewhere
Better just to have it
Do you know where your love is
Do you think that you lost it
You felt it so strong but nothings
Turned out how you want it
Well bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you wont let go
Of anything you hold
Well all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know what your fate is
And are you trying to shake it
You’re doing your best and
You’re best look
You’re praying that you’ll make it
Well bless my soul
You’re a lonely soul
Cause you wont let go
Of anything you hold
Well all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Better than you have it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Do you think you can find it
Better than you have it
Better than you have it
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Said all I need is the air I breathe
And a place to rest my head
Do you know where the end is
Do you think you can see it
Until you get there
Go on
Go ahead and scream it
Just say…

We say good-bye
I turn my back
Run away, run away
So predictable
Not far from here
You see me crack
Like a bone, like a bone
I’m so breakable

And I take everything from you
But you’ll take anything
Won’t you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

I’m on the road
To who knows where?
Look ahead, not behind
I keep saying
There’s no place to go
Where you’re not there
On your rope, I hold tight
But it’s freeing

And I take everything from you
But you’ll take anything
Won’t you?

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Everybody wants to be right
But only if it’s not day light?
I keep trying to find my way back
My way back

Run away, run away
Like a prodigal
Don’t you wait for me
Don’t you wait for me
So ashamed, so ashamed
But I need you so
And you wait for me
And you wait for me

Runaway
Runaway
Runaway
From you
From you
From you
