To Seattle! from Temporary Animals by The New Sincerity

Lightning commission stream, waiting for a table
See people discussing some unreleased video game
Side of a busy street next to a big marquee
Films from the 90s, 80s, maybe 70s

Sky starts dimming now, people start coming out of
The con centre right around the hotel we’re staying at
And the air smells like august, and the sir smells like gasoline
And the air smells like people and peace

I need to go back, but there's no back to go to
Cause it was never the place, but the feeling of something new
It’s like cursing the sun for interrupting your dream
Where you had all you wanted, and you really felt free

12 rods on the highway, cruising at 65
And school is so far away and I’ve never felt so alive
To lay down in the sidewalk and slowly melt into it
To stay there for months, to do nothing and feel no guilt

And now it’s just a memory a fading old memory
That I bring back occasionally with songs I was listening to
But still I know those feelings were true
