[Verse 1]
F C/G Never be sorry for the lack of response G Your hand on my arm before we were lost F C/G The horizon just laughed to see us fall off G Your face in a jar I constantly dropped F C/G You have him now but I'll have you later G The phone is a gossip G The clock is a murderer F My time is her burden C/G Your voice is his slumber G How long have we been here? G F C/G G I can't quite remember my name
[Verse 2]
F C/G I had you pegged as one who would throw me G away from your shoreline G Into the galaxy F Where moons are a fool C/G Stars climb eternity G Long after voids G and handwritten destiny F C/G Long after voices return from the telephone G Cut off from color G Leave everyone you know F They'll let you down C/G I'll let you talk into the sky G F C/G G That he keeps turning off like a light
[Verse 3]
F C/G Praises fall short from the hands of the choir G Who all stand in judgment and funerals pyre F Now that you're dead C/G They wait for the symphonies G Conductors retire to the bed of our sympathy F C/G Losing our minds on yesterday's tragedy G Are you surprised they're singing in harmony? F Flooding the hallways C/G I notice the exit signs pointing the way out G F C/G G I knew they were on to us all along
[Verse 4]
F C/G Your suitcase fits well in the room you are living in G Quick to leave town G Is it how you imagined it? F Alone with your ghosts, and the C/G question mark protagonist G Leaving you in deserts in search of answers F C/G To all of the questions that lead to more questions G Afraid to stand up or lose your salvation F Stop and rewind C/G They all change the station G The story hits home to close for their liking F C/G "Stick to the script where you lovers are dying" G Bored and annoyed G F C/G G "You're not even trying to turn us on"
[Verse 5]
F And the building was on fire C/G When I saw you step out G Afraid of your ghosts, and highly in doubt C/G When you knew all along, F Not even your cloud G Would ever withstand the song from your mouth F So they took all your scripts, C/G And the rain from your eyes G They're cashing it in for the next passing ride F C/G To some other city you made up in your mind G They missed when you died G So they're hitting rewind F C/G What good is living if you can't write your ending? G You're always in doubt of the truths you're defending F C/G Seeing yourself in others ideas G I'll write you from somewhere, G and call you from later on F I'll need a good time, C/G You'll need a daydream G Helplessly helpless G "I am alive, can you hear me?" F Sleeping in motion C/G G I love you Washington State
[Refrain]
F Sleeping in motion C/G G I love you Washington State F asleep in a motion C/G G I love you Washington State
