Introduction
Adam Cain Lyrics

When everything is said and done, one question remains
Despite all that has been said and done, there is still one unanswered question

Have you been to Washington lately?
Are you aware of the changes that have occurred in my life?

Babe, your eyes look like the moon as I stare into your face
Looking into your eyes is mesmerizing, just like staring at the beauty of the moon

All the troubles of this world seem to vanish with a trace
Thinking about you makes all the problems of the world disappear

Of the everpresent thought that you will leave me someday soon
However, the fear of you leaving me looms over me constantly

You will turn your face away, and I'll no longer see the moon
If you leave, I will no longer be able to admire the same moon-like beauty in your eyes

Babe, the seasons change again, and I can feel your aging face
I am able to notice the changes in your face as time passes

Drawing further from the moment as we sparingly embrace
Even our physical closeness is becoming more infrequent and distant

All the bars and clubs we visit cannot reinvent your smile
The places we go to together cannot hide the fact that your smile is not the same as it used to be

Then you ask me just how far is 490 miles
You ask me about the distance to Seattle, a place that represents a new start for us

We can go to Seattle
Seattle is a place where we can start anew

We could live in Seattle
We can start a new life together in Seattle

We could get married in Seattle
We can even take a step further and get married in Seattle

But Seattle's not for me 'cause Seattle's just a dream
Despite the allure of starting over in Seattle, it remains just a dream because it's not what I truly desire

Babe, the skyline calls your name, and I knew this day would come
I can see the pull of the city on you and knew that you would eventually leave

As you leave your moonlit past behind and venture in the sun
As you start a new chapter in your life, you leave behind the comforting memories of our past together

I want this town to know I played a part I made a vague impact
Although my role in your life may have been small, I still want to be remembered by this town

That this sun could not exist if our lives were still intact
Our lives were once so intertwined that, for me, the sun wouldn't be able to shine without your presence

Babe, the moon looks like your eyes as I leave my past behind
Even as I move on from my past, I still see the likeness of the moon in your eyes

All the memories of Washington have faded out of mind
The memories of our past in Washington are slowly becoming distant and hazy

And I'm left with something vaguely close to comfort at the thought
Despite this, the mere idea of being near you again gives me some sense of solace

Of being near your moonlit smile in Seattle after dark
The thought of seeing your beautiful smile again in a city like Seattle, particularly at night, is the one thing I long for
