lyrics
He knew everything about the mark
Been casing it for days
And a plan was coming together
He watched the changing of the guards
With the patience of a saint
Who’s a long way from heaven
Has God above
Given him just on chance?
Now that his back’s against the wall
He’s got to pull the heist
Just one then he’ll start running
He curses the world for his fall
For the train wreck of his life
And all the pain he’s got coming
So why try to love
When nothing ever lasts?
CHORUS:
All the time spent chasing the future
Like it’s yours to find or yours to change
We’re just reading lines in somebody’s movie
Where the story winds, ‘aint that what we call fate?
She walked with a halo of golden sun
And fifteen thousand nights
Of dreams were waiting for her
Now that she’d found a chosen one
She had just become his bride
From here to ever after
So proud and young
She had it in her hands
Then she saw the guard knocked to the floor
And a man was dressed in white
With a gun running towards her
The panicked pistol trigger pulled
Now their lives were intertwined
Two strangers locked forever
And now that it’s done
A second in the past
Been casing it for days
And a plan was coming together
He watched the changing of the guards
With the patience of a saint
Who’s a long way from heaven
Has God above
Given him just on chance?
Now that his back’s against the wall
He’s got to pull the heist
Just one then he’ll start running
He curses the world for his fall
For the train wreck of his life
And all the pain he’s got coming
So why try to love
When nothing ever lasts?
CHORUS:
All the time spent chasing the future
Like it’s yours to find or yours to change
We’re just reading lines in somebody’s movie
Where the story winds, ‘aint that what we call fate?
She walked with a halo of golden sun
And fifteen thousand nights
Of dreams were waiting for her
Now that she’d found a chosen one
She had just become his bride
From here to ever after
So proud and young
She had it in her hands
Then she saw the guard knocked to the floor
And a man was dressed in white
With a gun running towards her
The panicked pistol trigger pulled
Now their lives were intertwined
Two strangers locked forever
And now that it’s done
A second in the past

Hurricane Chaser Seattle, Washington
Hurricane Chaser returns in 2012 with Sapphires, the Seattle based band’s ambitious second full length release. Eighteen months in the making, this new release sees the band realizing the potential it had shown on 2009‘s The Map Is Not The Territory. The mellower acoustic sound of the band’s earlier work has been replaced by louder guitars, harder hitting drums, and a broader sonic pallette. ... more
