Down the River

It was the summer of '94
I was sitting old-fashioned by the door
This feel never left me alone
Yes I've known, I've known it for so long

I heard the tape stopped in our favourite bar
Heard you came back to our hometown
And now that story's over
And I could show you my scar
I said "Honey, hello"
Let's take a walk down now

I'll be there with you
You'll be there with me
Down, down, down the river
We'll be seventeen
And we'll be free again
Down down the river

I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
Where we said lies
I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
The place that shared our goodbyes

Suddenly there you're walking in your high heels
People will talk, talks will turn to screams
We won't be alright, this ain't our dreams
Fiction of time's torn us up to seams

I heard you got a new family
Two growing up kids,I like it actually
And now that our story's over, no anxiety
I could take you to our place and get back memories

I'll be there with you
You'll be there with me
Down, down,down the river
We'll be seventeen
And we'll be free again
Down down the river

I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
Where we said lies
I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
The place that shared our goodbyes

Your skin is softer than ever
And your touch I could melt forever
Tell me does it feel better
I know we could never be together

The tape stopped in our favourite bar
Heard you came back to our hometown
And now that story's over
And I could show you my scar
Sh-show you my scar, could show you my scar

I'll be there with you
You'll be there with me
Down,down,down the river
We'll be seventeen
And we'll be free again
Down down the river

I'll be there with you
You'll be there with me
Down,down,down the river
We'll be seventeen
And we'll be free again
Down down the river

I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
Where we said lies
I'll get lost in your eyes
Down the river
The place that shared our goodbyes

I just want to be 17
How can we go back to when we were 17
How good was when we were 17
Just you and me
