LYRICS:
If all the tears you cried on this day
Would pool together and form a waterway.
I would rip the pews of nails and glue
And build you a means of escape.
We'd run from everyone
Misplace the maps - follow the sun.
It's you and me and as we flee
These actions can't be undone.
But you can't escape
If you can't believe it's true.
And I'm afraid it's true.
This is forever.
Downstream the tributary
The river wild with possibility.
Not much to show but watch us grow
To the best of our ability.
I carved her name into the wood
Splintered fingers worn for greater good.
Now you stand talker than where you stood.
But you can't escape
If you can't believe it's true.
And I'm afraid it's true.
This is forever.
I made the boat and you made the river...
Captain and Navigator.
