Savvygirl – When I Was In Seattle lyrics

Fire couldn’t burn half as hot as we were
Those first few months you brought me higher than any peak I’d climbed before
That’s the top now baby I swear I’m sure

Tired keeping track of all our lies
And I should have been fired like two times already this month
But you’re just wired to help those who require your good, kind heart, and you gave me a
Part, but only a part, and it tore me apart
Cuz what’s part of a heart

You say look in my eyes as list the reasons that you can’t be with me with me
How do you fight for someone who’s too scared to concede
And I should have known better, never felt like forever
You change your mind like the weather here in New England

All the way across the country
Took a plane to feel you loved me
Only had you because you couldn’t have me
2500 miles apart, I never felt closer to the start
Didn’t feel like a force, had the man with the rubber band heart
Was when I was in Seattle

Control, every move we made in this was for control
Fighting for something I knew I never really had
My friends said girl, you’re going mad
He’s just a boy, playing a game
But that was just part, cuz it was games at the start
But monster walls came up too high for me to tear them apart

And now every white sedan I see drives a stinger through my heart
From getting gas on that first day to the parking lots to that spot we dare not stop
'n shop runnin down aisles with you
Was it all in my head
Oh those nights in your bed when your phone kept buzzing, and you stopped me from running

All the way across the country
Took a plane to feel you loved me
Only had you because you couldn’t have me
2500 miles apart, I never felt closer to the start
Didn’t feel like a force, had the man with the rubber band heart
Was when I was in Seattle

And now my storage space is full from screenshots of memes that I can’t send you
Cuz you’re not my friend queue up the music, and the stories I’m dying to share
Screw all our inside jokes, they’re just everywhere, and they haunt me like a living nightmare
But I have rules to stick to, so stop, I cannot answer, cuz I’m still learning to live without you

All the way across the country
Lucky to have felt you loved me
If you had been with her I don’t want to know
Now you kick my chair-my god that smile, those lines that form, your eyes still drive me wild
I take a headphone out as you lean in to say

Sav
All the way across the country, Alaska calls, but we won’t burn our money cuz
You still need lessons on those monkey bars
Listening to our songs on repeat, my California girl you will be
The west coast moon shines just for you and me
Like when I was in Seattle

Woahh
City lights shine through
Damn I love that view
Like I loved the you, you were when I was in

May not have you, but I’ll always have
Ugh f*ck
Seattle
