Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Above the bar, the TV's are showing the game
We're not watchin' it, we're hardly focusin'
Through the windows in the fading day
First Avenue is turning grey
[Verse 2]
Do you ever look at me and see another man?
Let's get two more beers and try to make a plan
Sometimes it feels as though I have a key
But every time I try it, it won't turn for me
[Verse 3]
Seattle
You've got to love the rain
And we both love rain
We both love rain
[Verse 4]
We watched the city skyline from the ferry deck
You put your arms around my neck
We talked of looking just out of town
Now it's looking like a dream shot down
Still believe that there's somewhere for us
But now it's something that we don't discuss
And you're the best thing I ever knew
Stay with me, baby, and we'll make it to
We'll make it to
[Verse 5]
Seattle
You've got to love the rain
And we both love rain
We both love rain
[Verse 6]
Seattle
I want you just the same
And we both love rain
We both love rain
