Cousins In Seattle Lyrics

Take me to Washington State
Take me to Arizona
Take me to Iowa, Nebraska or Maine

Take me to San Francisco
To see my cousins in Seattle
Take me anywhere that's far away

Cos I'm so sick of this same old feeling
That's in my bones

I need fire, I need light, I need sparks
I need SOMETHING

Take me New York State
Take me to Colorado
Take me to Iowa, Nebraska or Maine

Take me to San Francisco
To see my cousins in Seattle
Take me anywhere that's far away

Cos I'm so sick of this same old feeling
Deep in my bones

I need fire, I need light, I need sparks
I need SOMETHING

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Vampire Weekend are a band I totally and purposefully ignored until their last record, which completely blew me away. It was the first time in a LONG time that I listened to an album obsessively, everyday , everywhere. If you haven't heard it, check it out...amazing production and lyrics. That album directly inspired the feel of this one, the title of which came from a friends Facebook post about her cousins...in Seattle. I suppose it's partly about wanderlust...I get itchy feet but rarely act on.

This one was so much fun to record...the drum track is one of favourite things we've done throughout the year." -Richard Walters
