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
