All is over Everything is starting new Everything’s in front of you Follow the river She poured the vodka and she twisted the lime Her perfume blended with the Bourbon and thyme The room was easy in the afternoon breeze As she held it in her hands And I showed up because I knew she’d be there I was sunburned, I got drunk out of nowhere My friends with families and real jobs were all gone But I stayed behind because the lights were still on She offered Seltzer from her soda gun Her eyes were sparkling and the whole room spun The street outside was sticky golden dew And I wanted just to stay All my senses overwhelmed and outdone By every love song playing all at once I sobered up and stumbled home alone All is over Everything is starting new Everything’s in front of you Follow the river All is over Everything is coming true There was always hope for you Follow the river She was still asleep in the morning light Her body rendering events of last night Skin of milky silk, eyelids softly shut And an endless playlist playing Algorithms couldn’t make this stuff up Or blossom like the flower of a buttercup Or whisper unintelligible sounds of life "Tell me, am I real or am I dreaming still?" We woke up to a song we had never heard But our entire beings knew it word for word Tangled up in an unmade bed, overlooking Sunday City Listening for pleasure or the absence of pain Listenin' to the heart beat and the pouring rain Listen to The Sirens and «The Way Love Goes» Listen to the body cause the body knows Listen to The Dinos and Survivors Guilt, The Origin Story and The Vanderbilts Listen to the sound of life itself and it sings! All is over Everything is starting new Everything’s in front of you Follow the river All is over Everything is coming true There was always hope for you Follow the river
