from a hotel window in seattle
i traced the path of a passing ferry
could you be a passenger
heading up to whidbey to see your kin

ive been to anacortes
circled round in a kayak
searching for humpback whales
all i was really doing was killing time hoping to see you again

those shadows on the water
pulled like magnets deep and blue
dragged me down under
to a world where i could not breath
that's when i knew id have to surrender
and leave your hometown for good

maybe i just need a new summer
maybe i just need a happy new year
i might need a new lover
but i just don't see how i'm ever gonna recover from losing you

i've packed up all of my cameras
my itinerary tells me i'm going back east
to stay up and watch the sun rise
and let this western sun finally set on you
