Seemed a River

[Verse 1]
My living room's filled with ghosts
Only some of whom I know better than those I pass on the sidewalk outside my house
The city seems filled with these
Long standing voids that eat the sounds that evoke memories
I spoke with an old friend today
One of the ones who'd fallen away
And we talked about all the ways out lives have changed

[Pre-Chorus]
I said in the wake of all those years spent spinning around
I was dealing with the aftermath of a twister dug deep down

[Chorus]
Everyone's talking about slowing down
And what they've found in their immediate surroundings
When they stopped looking further afield to find a reason

[Verse 2]
There seemed a river up the canyon
It sounds so poetic but it's just a sign I kept passing
Up and down the highway, we drove it every weekend
Trying to make a plan for love despite all our bickering
Far away from city lights
Before you hit county line
Close enough to make good time up and down the coastline

[Pre-Chorus]
I said in the wake of all those years spent spinning around
I was dealing with the aftermath and looking for a place to settle down

[Chorus]
Everyone's talking about slowing down
And what they've found in their immediate surroundings
When they stopped looking further afield to find a reason
Everyone's talking about slowing down
And what they've found in their immediate surroundings
When they stopped looking further afield to find a reason
