You sat crossing your legs

outside on your front steps

Just as i was making my way home

I bummed a cigarette off of you

and asked "what you were doin alone?"

so i sat sad to hear your stories

about friendships gone wrong

we talked into the morning

my god its been so long.......

so lets fill these rivers up

like crystal blue fountains

and we'll build tall waterfalls that drip from mountains

would you stay here by my side

against the tides we'll stand strong

we talked into the night, just catching up cause

god its been so long..............

Did you see the creek dried up the one

down below the Evergreens

the place where we spent our younger days

just the two of us fishing out all our dreams

Its a metaphor, for you and me

Its tried to ignore, but its plain to see

so pull me back if im getting away

and hold on by these threads

as we go our seperate ways

but just remember the dreams we made

down here on Michaels creek

the water never will flow the same, and never be the same

I thought we would last forever..........

I thought we could last forever (pull me back if im getting away)

I thought we would last forever (we can sew our threads again someday)

I thought we would last forever................

so lets fill these rivers up

like crystal blue fountains

and we'll build tall waterfalls that drip from mountains

would you stay here by my side

against the tides we'll stand strong

we talked into the night, just catching up cause

god its been so long..............
