Seattle '62 Lyrics

Monuments to futures never born

Pages from the manuals have all been torn

Out and burned to keep us warm tonight

As we sleep beneath the shadow of a needle in the sky

And it feels like coming home

To a room we've never seen before in a house we've never known

Saturate the ocean with a view

Of the countless broken promises the skyline's made to you

The city's been keeping secrets from me

Telling me those lies that I believe

But secrets are the same to me as promises that we won't keep

It's true, the city's lied to me and lied to you

The neighborhood is talking in it's sleep

I always think that it's talking to me

If we let the truth slip out between our teeth

There's no way to repair the damage when it's starts to bleed

And it feels like no one knows

How the world outside is burning down but everything is cold

Tell yourself that this is just a dream

But every time you turn around it's closer than it seems

The city's been keeping secrets from me

Telling me those lies that I believe

But secrets are the same to me as promises that we won't keep

It's true, the city's lied to me and lied to you

Travel on a single rail to nowhere

The best that we can hope is to collide

Spend our days just finding ways to keep the outside new

All the while it's hollowed out inside

The city's been keeping secrets from me

Telling me those lies that I believe

But secrets are the same to me as promises that we won't keep

It's true, the city's lied to me and lied to you
