You can have Seattle

You can have Seattle

And Seattle can have you

You can keep our dream

heartache with a view

Please do give my best

to the Pacific Northwest

Let her have a turn

At filling that hole inside your chest

Train her to believe

the rainy days are all her fault

Once you've changed your mind

about them being beautiful

You and I both know

a start can only be so fresh

when you pack a shattered heart 

in the baggage that you checked

But your heart, particularly

is broken in a way

that will never be fixed by Maple trees

Not by your next city, and not by your next me

That poor Emerald City

By next fall, your colors will show

and she'll learn, just like me

that you're a monster coast to coast

Should Seattle ask about me

tell her I stumbled home to the desert

Tell her I found someone here

Who puts hearts back together

You can have Seattle 

and she can have you

I'll keep my dream

my happy ending without you
