Our River

I feel the time passing
Flying by the window
2000 Toyota
Up ahead the traffic slows

What if we could change it
Maybe rearrange it
What if we just trade it
In on something different
We could leave the game now
Seen enough innings
Find new beginnings

What if we bought ourselves a farmhouse
With a kitchen fm radio
We could plant cedars off the back door
When the wind picks up, they’ll wave to and fro

Spend those summer nights
Magic hour sunlight
Run through the yard
Down on the bank
Stars in the sky
Jump into the water
Your lip starts to quiver
Swimming in our river

Getting tired of the city
Not that it’s awful or nothing
I get so distracted
Just turning with the seasons

Find something permanent
Something they can’t tear down
Roots in the ground
The land love found
Leave it all behind now
We have enough reasons to
Find new beginnings

What if we bought ourselves a farmhouse
With a kitchen fm radio
We could plant cedars off the back door
When the wind picks up, they’ll wave to and fro

Spend those summer nights
Magic hour sunlight
Run through the yard
Down on the bank
Stars in the sky
Jump into the water
Your lip starts to quiver
Swimming in our river

What if we bought ourselves a farmhouse
With a kitchen FM radio
We could plant Cedars off the back door
Fill the hallways up with rugs, invite everyone you know

Spend those summer nights
Magic hour sunlight
Run through the yard
Stars in the sky
Down on the bank
Jump into the water
Your lip starts to quiver
Swimming in our river
Swimming in our river
Swimming in our river
