Seattle by Jon Bryant Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's about time that I head back to Seattle
The highways at midnight still point me out that way
I hope that you'll follow me back home to Seattle
It's a long road ahead and I don't wanna miss you at all
It's been a while since I've driven through Snoquamie
And I can't remember the last time that I cried
I hope when I see you I'll get the idea that it's just a matter of time
It's been a few years and I can't wait to see you this time
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm northwest bound 'til a needle appears
Where the rain falls 265 days a year
I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you
So give me your heart and we'll drive 'til the skies turn to blue
And never look back
[Verse 2]
The rain sometimes seems to fall slower in Seattle
But maybe that's typical after a couple of months
When it starts to pour I'll come back to the shore and I take you Straight out of the clouds
You're my destination no matter the cite I go
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm northwest bound 'til a needle appears
Where the rain falls 265 days a year
And I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you
So give me your heart and we'll drive 'til the skies turn to blue
And never look back
[Bridge]
The charms of the west, they help me forget I'm not there
There's only one thing that the good lord has yet to begin
I hope it's you
I hope it's you
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm northwest bound 'til a needle appears
Where the rain falls 265 days a year
And I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you
So give me your heart and we'll drive 'til the skies turn to blue
And never look
It's about time that I head back to Seattle
The highways at midnight still point me out that way
I hope that you'll follow me back home to Seattle
It's a long road ahead and I don't wanna miss you at all
It's been a while since I've driven through Snoquamie
And I can't remember the last time that I cried
I hope when I see you I'll get the idea that it's just a matter of time
It's been a few years and I can't wait to see you this time
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm northwest bound 'til a needle appears
Where the rain falls 265 days a year
I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you
So give me your heart and we'll drive 'til the skies turn to blue
And never look back
[Verse 2]
The rain sometimes seems to fall slower in Seattle
But maybe that's typical after a couple of months
When it starts to pour I'll come back to the shore and I take you Straight out of the clouds

Where the rain falls 265 days a year
And I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you

And never look back

Where the rain falls 265 days a year
And I'm fully aware, love don't always play fair, the rest is up to you
So give me your heart and we'll drive 'til the skies turn to blue
And never look
