Lyrics
Oh it was white sand and deep blue waves we were running up to shore sun pours on sparkling faces I don’t feel or see anymore to be young we’re just leaves floating on down the stream my job my house my clothes my whole social scene so high are the stakes, every move that we make sends us down down down in that stream but here in this only life I’ll know those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs it’s just the way the story goes and for 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 cuz they were good and I was true, didn’t need to end oh how they’ve risen and they fallen like the sun circles round, I guess I’ve done just as well as anyone hard to accept that I’m just anyone but here in this only life I’ll know those summer days rush out like water from the lawn it’s just the way the story goes we just 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 here in the only life I’ll know not taking orders just don’t know which way to go it’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’ll 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 we’re just leaves floating on down the stream my job my house my clothes my whole social scene and one day, one day, one bright clear day I think we all might just disappear sink down like leaves in the river cold and clear on down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
