Oh it was white sand and deep blue waves We were running up to shore Sun glints on sparkling faces I don't feel or see anymore I don't feel or see anymore
To be young To be young
We're just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene So high are the stakes, every move we make Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Here in the only life I know Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs That's just the way the story goes All I've learned I still wish I didn't know All I didn't know, oh, when we were young
When I was young I told myself I'd keep my friends They were good and I was true, didn't need to end Oh how they've risen they fallen Like the sun circles round Guess I've done just as well as anyone Hard to accept it, I'm just anyone
But here in this only life I know Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn It's just the way the story goes Stand in line now and talk about the day When we were young
My conscious could've sunbathed Every day in my bright blue mind Now it's crowded with guilt and purpose and I just want it all aligned I just want it all aligned I just want it all aligned
Here in the only life I know That's just the way the story goes And I'll be damned, I'll be damned
Here in the only life I know Not taking orders I don't know which way to go That's just the way the story goes And I'll be damned if I'm to live it out alone Here in the only life I know With any waste of time it hits so close to home It's just the way the story goes And I'll be damned if I'm to live it out alone I won't live it out alone Won't live it out alone
We're just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream My job my house my clothes my whole social scene So high are the stakes So high are the stakes, every move we make Sends us down, down, down in that stream And one day, one day, one bright clear day I think we all might just disappear Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear On down like leaves in an icy stream On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy streamTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
