Each day I wake up much older than
I ever expect to be
So many strangers along the way
But are they stranger than me?
He had a life in the mountaintop
Feeling so fresh and so clean
But he destroyed all that held him up
It's always worse than it seems
This river's flowing
Down to the ocean
This river's flowing
Oh
She had a dream to be magical
She had a clear destiny
But all she touched was reduced to dust
She drifted out to the sea
I wish that I could just stay right here
I'm getting used to this life
But I can smell the waves coming near
They cut through just like a knife
This river's flowing
Down to the ocean
This river's flowing
Oh, oh
Down to the ocean
Yeah, it's where we're all going
Ah, ah, ah, ah
I've been trying hard to swim against these tides
Oh, I
Maybe I should just sit back and enjoy the ride
Oh, ooh, ooh, oh
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Ooh, ooh, ooh
