Oh it was white sand and deep blue waves
We were running up to shore
Sun glints on sparkling faces

I dont feel or see anymore, I dont feel or see anymore
To be young, to be young
Were 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
CHORUS:
Here in the only life I know
Those summer days rush out like warm air from my lungs
Thats just the way the story goes
All Ive learned I still wish I didnt know
(x2)
All I didnt know, oh, when we were young
VERSE:
When I was young I told myself Id keep my friends
They were good and I was true, didnt need to end
Oh how theyve risen they fallen
Like the sun circles round
Guess Ive done just as well as anyone
Hard to accept it, Im just anyone
But here in this only life I know
Those summer days rush out like water from the lawn
Its just the way the story goes
Stand in line now and talk about the day when we were young
INTERLUDE:
(x4)
VERSE (like intro):
My conscious couldve sunbathed
Every day in my bright blue mind
Now its crowded with guilt and purpose and
I just want it all aligned
I just want it all aligned
I just want it all aligned
Here in the only life I know
Thats just the way the story goes
And Ill be damned, Ill be damned
CHORUS:
Here in the only life I know
Not taking notice I dont know which way to go
Its just the way the story goes
Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone
Here in the only life I know
With any waste of time it hits so close to home
Its just the way the story goes
Ill be damned if Im to live it out alone
I wont live it out alone
Wont live it out alone
VERSE:
Were 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
