lyrics

In my eyes you're the child
8 or 9, in your sundress by the river
Where we met, in my jeans I'm soakin wet,
Said you'd never crossed the river
And I should have left you dry
But we swam to the far side.

But now your tongue has learned the taste of good-bye
Like a daughter foolin herself into drinking wine
And to me it seems you're drunker every night
But it could be me, I never could take falling behind.

Back to school, don't forget me here at home
I write letters from the river.
Next to you my days are empty, so I write in poetry
Still I'm too shy to ever put 'em into song
You're the singer after all

But your ear prefers the sound of good-bye
Like a 5-star spoiled critic on a 4-star Friday night
And your voice was once my favorite place to dine
But you said good-bye and since then I've been starving inside

Oh mirrorwater ripple as I'm goin' in
I think I'm gonna swim...
