ten years older than I was what I brought you down to see,
what I thought would make you fall in love
wearing off on our dreams someday man Im gonna be
no different than the other rivers
I tried to look at you but I couldnt break the ice
you stood out there for an hour freezing
put your hand around my back I guess you thought I needed that
I never tried to find you
and I hope you don't remember me and I hope youre not alone
wanted me to take you home. you said you'd rather be alone
I never thought of that
car was warm and we had wine
but I couldn't find the perfect song
now I own furniture for worn crows 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 tried to find you
and I hope you don't remember me and I hope youre not alone
and I don't wanna know what your thinking
Im looking out the window--drinkin drinkin drinkin
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
shallow frame and shaky sticks
but I know there's a river in me
I never tried to find you
and I hope you don't remember me and I hope youre not alone
and I don't wanna know what your thinking
Im looking out the window--drinkin drinkin drinkin
