sittin next to the creek
so cold i can barely speak
body startin to shiver
sittin next to the river

been quite frightful day
everybodys goin away tonight
maybe you folks might stay
yr all in a circle round me
backs turned to me
pack your bags gettin further from me
catch one cant get the others

soundin stones fill the air
i could hardly care
swimmin in a filthy river
but nothing lasts forever
what are you gonna do
when we fall through

so quiet i cant hear a thing
ear submerged while lilacs sing
eyes are burnin in the dark like fire
on a swing in the park with a liar
i'm climbin up the hill
spring breeze gives quite a chill
still
nothing lasts forever

runnin away from the river
climb the bridge faster than ever
run climb pull myself higher
clothes get colder but they dont get drier

come with me to watch the windows
shallow towers built in haste
flower petals dropped in money driven
mansions gone to waste
peer through the bars on the bridge to the street
coffee stains and all things bittersweet
hear a hundred cars in a thousand lanes
they're all the same
what are you gonna do
when I fall through
what am I gonna do
wont matter how much I love you when I fall through

feel like we never see each other
sinking slowly in the water
wish i could hear you sing
like a newborn king
