Ten years older than i was What i brought you down to see, What i thought would make you fall in love Wearing off on our dreams Someday man i'm gonna be no different than the other rivers I tried to look at you but i couldnt break the ice You stood out there for an hour freezing Put your hand around my back I guess you thought i needed that I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me I hope you're not alone Wanted me to take you home You said you'd rather be alone I never thought of that Car is warm and we had wine But i couldn't find the perfect song Now our furniture for the one with crows feet and i can't even remember the call Sometimes i can feel your weight when i close my eyes Seven times i was under you I never try to find you I hope you dont remember me I hope your not alone I don't wanna know what your thinking I'm looking out the window Just fucking drinking Shallow frame and shaky sticks but i know there's a river in me Shallow minded adult tricks but i know there's a river in me
