Deception Pass Lyrics

Thoughts of leaving, so enticing

Respite from this crazy place

Air and sunshine, so inviting

Takes us to this open space

Set out early, chase the sunrise

Pack our bags and fill the car

Westward bound, hills multiply

Mountains blur into stars

Mystic falls, right before you

Bluer skies you hope will last

Tempting thoughts, they may guide you

Stuck here on deception pass

Sitting on a driftwood trunk

While eagles dive into the lake

Counting all the treasures we sunk

Was it all a big mistake

Will we reach the other side

Pastures filled with greener grass

Spare us from this rocky ride

Hold on tight this too shall pass

Mystic falls, right before you

Bluer skies, you hope will last

Cloudy days, they will blind you

Stuck here on deception pass

A bridge to cross from here to there

Steel and stone, a path to share

A bridge of truth from real regret

A means to form a great re-set

Or be stranded here today

That no magic will wave all away

We take a left, avoid the right turn

Instinct calls, ignore the signs

Unprepared and badly sunburned

Dodging facts are dangerous climbs

Waking in our beds tomorrow

Sheltering from our storm

Will we squander time we borrow

Evolving towards kinder norms

Mystic falls right before you

Bluer skies you hope will last

Illusions you will see right through

Stuck here on deception pass

Will this deception pass
