Thoughts of leaving, so enticing
Respite from this crazy place
Air and sunshine, so inviting
Takes us to this open space
Set out early, chase the sunrise
Pack our bags and fill the car
Westward bound, hills multiply
Mountains blur into stars
Mystic falls, right before you
Bluer skies you hope will last
Tempting thoughts, they may guide you
Stuck here on deception pass
Sitting on a driftwood trunk
While eagles dive into the lake
Counting all the treasures we sunk
Was it all a big mistake
Will we reach the other side
Pastures filled with greener grass
Spare us from this rocky ride
Hold on tight this too shall pass
Mystic falls, right before you
Bluer skies, you hope will last
Cloudy days, they will blind you
Stuck here on deception pass
A bridge to cross from here to there
Steel and stone, a path to share
A bridge of truth from real regret
A means to form a great re-set
Or be stranded here today
That no magic will wave all away
We take a left, avoid the right turn
Instinct calls, ignore the signs
Unprepared and badly sunburned
Dodging facts are dangerous climbs
Waking in our beds tomorrow
Sheltering from our storm
Will we squander time we borrow
Evolving towards kinder norms
Mystic falls right before you
Bluer skies you hope will last
Illusions you will see right through
Stuck here on deception pass
Will this deception pass
