Fences claim they can separate the ownership of landscape
The street lights shine and the sprinklers run all night
Behind suburban walls and tall gates
But a breeze decides if seeds will bloom or die, or scatter out and multiply
When rain comes through to tap dance on my roof
I’m stuck but I am satisfied to stay in
Oh river we are grieving
We’ve lost surprise here
Our fruits are out of season
We sell them all year
We flee from fear
The days grow long and sunshine is our song, the hot light makes our skin tight
The house stays warm so we sleep on the porch
And hope the stars will stay in our eyes through winter
Oh river come and take me
And make my eyes new
I’m tired of resisting
I’ve tried to bend you
We’re afraid to see the blue lines
Lead to the blue sea
Cause we spend all of our time
Trying to be something more than something
There were fireflies in Brooke’s backyard that night
We fought the hot July in Brooklyn with white wine
And to think that I’ve been spending all my time
Believing I decide what falls before my eyes
All we’re after anymore is safe control
But we have to trade our wonder for it we grow cold
Oh river wash me deep down to the sea and let it wash me over
