Strongman & Co. - Seattle Lyrics

I think I'll take the easy way out
Pack my bags, become a fisherman in Seattle
Think I'll need some new rainboots
But maybe these old ones will do

And I didn't want you to know my middle name
Didn't need to know all of your dreams
Cause this always ends the same

I'd rather live my life with rain-soaked skin
Then have to walk through that hell again
Where I meet a girl and I fall in love
I'd rather pretend I've got too much stuff that is
Going on to really give the time
I'll just walk away and I'll be just fine
I'd rather cast my nets in an empty sea
Than know you just so you could never know me
Just so you could never know
Me

I can't stop picking at this scab
And of course it would look exactly like your homeland
It won't do so well in a damp environment
Such as the one where my escape is planned

And I didn't need you to cover up my wounds
Didn't need you to stay up late with me
And I think I must be going soon

I'd rather live my life with rain-soaked skin
Then have to walk through that hell again
Where I meet a girl and I fall in love
I'd rather pretend I've got too much stuff that is
Going on to really give the time
I'll just walk away and I'll be just fine
I'd rather cast my nets in an empty sea
Than know you just so you could never know me
Just so you could never know
Me

And I love when you call me my full name
And staying up late just to talk about dreams
And maybe this time it won't end the same
Or maybe it won't end at all

I'd rather risk it all just to do this right
Than spend all my days and half of my nights
Casting heavy loads and reeking of fish
If I'm being honest I've got to admit
That I'm scared as hell to tell you how I feel
Will you walk away or just stay for real
I'd rather, live a life where I loved you well
Than to sleepwalk through and then never ever tell
Never tell
