The Story of Us

Day by day seasons change in the story of us Sad lonely broken people together Well I'll speak for myself I've been trying to get to a place Where our lives will meld While you do what you can on your own Never asking for help Saying I don't provide what you need While our lives go to hell And you dream of a man with career, confidence, and wealth Run baby run baby run baby run Run to your river of dreams Run baby run Run baby run Run to your river of dreams Your dreams So you drink and you think you're not ready for this or maybe The truth is that simply you are not happy with me And the path we've been walking together seems too limiting And laying beside me at night's not where you want to sleep, no Maybe someday you'll realize that love is truly the only way anybody ever gets free I mean that honestly Run baby run baby run baby run Run to your river of dreams Run baby run Run baby run Run to your river of dreams Your dreams You're always looking around In the heart of downtown For handstands and toasts to your health From strangers, and past loves, and friends Who won't be there in the end So run baby run As you trip to the magical water swim, try not to drown Just remember when it's time to get out that I won't be found anywhere around Because I can't be second or third unless I'm someone else And I can't deny or love less I can just be myself I never thought you'd be the one to make my heart go black But I'm telling the world in a song I was wrong about that So wrong about that Run baby run baby run baby run Run to your river of dreams Run baby run Run baby run Run to your river of dreams Your dreams
