Oh it was white sand and deep blue waves
We were running up to shore
Sun glints on sparkling faces
I donât feel or see anymore
To be young
Weâre just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
My job, my house, my car, my whole social scene
So high are the stakes, every move we make
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
Here in the only life I know
Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs
Thatâs just the way the story goes
All Iâve learned I still wish I didnât know
All I didnât know, oh, when we were young
When I was young I told myself Iâd keep my friends
They were good and I was true, didnât need to end
Oh how theyâve risen they fallen
Like the sun circles round
Guess Iâve done just as well as anyone
Hard to accept it, Iâm just anyone
But here in this only life I know
Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn
It's just the way the story goes
Stand in line now and talk about the day
When we were young
My conscious couldâve sunbathed
Every day in my bright blue mind
Now itâs crowded with guilt and purpose and
I just want it all aligned
Here in the only life I know
Not taking orders I donât know which way to go
Thatâs just the way the story goes
And Iâll be damned if Iâm to live it out alone
Here in the only life I know
With any waste of time it hits so close to home
Itâs just the way the story goes
And Iâll be damned if Iâm to live it out alone
I won't live it out alone
Weâre just leaves, leaves, floating on down the stream
My job my house my clothes my whole social scene
So high are the stakes
So high are the stakes, every move we make
Sends us down, down, down in that stream
And one day, one day, one bright clear day
I think we all might just disappear
Sink on down in that river cold and clear, my dear
On down like leaves in an icy stream
On down like leaves to the bottom of an icy stream
