M.A.R. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Playing this music is getting so old
My whole world is upside down
c stranger in a foreign town
I know it's hard for you to take
cll the choices that I make
I chase after a childhood dream
I'm stuck here in Seattle and you are far away
There's nothing here without you — no reason I should stay
I want you here beside me — I want it to feel right
But I'm stuck here in Seattle tonight
I'm shuffling my feet down some Seattle street
c fog rolls in under dark moon light
Missing you is gonna keep me up all night
I'm stuck here in Seattle and you are far away
There's nothing here without you — no reason I should stay
I want you here beside me — I want it to feel right
But I'm stuck here in Seattle tonight
cnd the rain falls down as I walk downtown
I go bar to bar and place to place
Searching for some thing that can ease this ache
I look near and far and face to face
But all I really want is you
I'm stuck here in Seattle and you are far away
There's nothing here without you — no reason I should stay
I want you here beside me — I want it to feel right
But I'm stuck here in Seattle — I'm stuck here in Seattle tonight
Oh tonight
You're all I need
