Lyrics

Ten years older than I was When I brought you down to see What I thought would make you fall in love Where an old canal would dream "Someday, man, I'm gonna be no different than the other rivers.\" I tried to look at you but I couldn't break the ice We stood out there for an hour and were freezing You put your hand around my back I guess you thought I needed that I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone You wanted me to take you home You said you'd rather be alone I never thought of that The car was warm and we had wine But I couldn't find the perfect song Now I own furniture, a 401, and crow's feet And I can't even remember the car Sometimes I can feel your weight when I close my eyes Seven times I was under you I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone And I don't wanna know what you're thinking I'm looking out the window Just drinking and drinking and drinking Shallow frame and shaky sticks but I know there's a river in me Shallow-minded adult tricks but I know there's a river in me I never try to find you I hope you don't remember me But I hope you're not alone And I don't wanna know what you're thinking I'm looking out the window Just sitting there Sitting down and fucking drinking
