Jesse Wride - Seattle Lyrics

I was taught to take a hit, but I feel half-dead on the Vegas Strip
As the lights transform into people missed
They're begging me to reminisce

I just want my essence back, I don't think they make a pill for that
I left it back in the car she crashed, but "It's best to leave it in the past" was spelled in broken glass

I'll be the first to say (Let's be honest)
She oversimplified my fairly complicated life
Still thought she might've stayed, or her departure would be delayed
But I'm left to hesitate today
Tomorrow to give myself away

Take me down homeostasis, 'cause I'm burning up and I'm feeling anxious
I can't find love in my usual places
Come together, get it together
I'll vacation with cell phone data, 'cause I hate the view here in Nevada
I'll look up photos of Seattle
I hear it always rains, but it's better than my brain tonight

I'll be the first to say (Let's get real here)
If I could simplify my fairly complicated mind
Maybe they would stay, or their departure would be delayed
But I'm left to hesitate

I'll look my boy between his eyes, say "Go be a better man than I"
I think it's time that I really try, to listen to my own advice
And stop scrapbooking my mistakes. She's not Meg, I'm no Tom Hanks
So I'll patch my heart with some masking tape
A better form of self medication

I've got nothing left to prove 'cause I loved her harder
Than she knew, but we can't choose who chooses you
So I'll pack my bags for the great Northwest, I'll hope and
I'll pray that I can finally get some rest
