Official lyrics
Read the song
Verse 1
Two and a half years married
Still waiting on the honeymoon suite
Girl at the desk fake smiling
Saying "Sir, just take a seat"
Thought my wife was trying to kill me
Walking Queen Anne in July
Nobody warned me Seattle
Was built straight up to the sky
Underground city haunting
Anxiety running down my back
Everybody talked about rain there
But the sun never cut us slack
Pre-Chorus 1
Seattle never rained once
Not the way they said it would
Chorus 1
Black hole sky above us
Purple haze across the Sound
Half lost in the city lights
Half trying not to break down
Seattle kept on climbing
Every street another hill
You laughing while I'm dying
And somehow loving me still
Verse 2
Walked past the first Starbucks
Like everybody else on earth
Line wrapped halfway down the sidewalk
For coffee that seemed absurd
Pike Place turned us in circles
Fish flying over tourist heads
That gum wall was disgusting
You just laughed and let me vent
Rode bikes uphill to CVS
For coffee creamer and ibuprofen
Nothing says forever, baby
Like sweating uphill hoping
Pre-Chorus 2
Seattle started opening
Somewhere down by Elliott Bay
Chorus 2
Black hole sky above us
Construction cutting through the blue
For the first time on that whole damn trip
I finally looked at you
Seattle kept on moving
COVID was a memory
We made our share
We never found
The boathouse from the movie
But somewhere near the waterfront
We found our future
Bridge
City lights through corner windows
Pouring through the bedroom blinds
Funny how that room we fought for
Started feeling worth the fight
Somewhere between the skyline
And tangled hotel sheets
We stopped acting like
We just wear wedding rings
Sat inside that old film screening
Watching somebody else's story
Not knowing ours was changing too
Somewhere underneath the noise
Walking high through Lumen Field
Phone lit up blue and white
Suddenly the future
Didn't feel so far away
Final Chorus
Seattle never rained once
Still somehow we washed clean
Left there carrying more than luggage
More than either one could see
Black hole sky behind us
New home waiting back in TC
Somewhere there between those hills
We became more than we had been
Two and a half years married
Still waiting on the honeymoon suite
Girl at the desk fake smiling
Saying "Sir, just take a seat"
Thought my wife was trying to kill me
Walking Queen Anne in July
Nobody warned me Seattle
Was built straight up to the sky
Underground city haunting
Anxiety running down my back
Everybody talked about rain there
But the sun never cut us slack
Pre-Chorus 1
Seattle never rained once
Not the way they said it would
Chorus 1
Black hole sky above us
Purple haze across the Sound
Half lost in the city lights
Half trying not to break down
Seattle kept on climbing
Every street another hill
You laughing while I'm dying
And somehow loving me still
