Song Lyrics

Day by day seasons change in the story of us
Sad lonely broken people together
Well I'll speak for myself
I've been trying to get to a place
Where our lives will meld
While you do what you can on your own
Never asking for help
Saying I don't provide what you need
While our lives go to hell
And you dream of a man with career, confidence, and wealth

So run baby run baby run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Run baby run
Run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Your dreams

So you drink and you think you're not ready for this or maybe
The truth is that simply you are not happy with me
And the path we've been walking together seems too limiting
And laying beside me at night's not where you want to sleep, no
Maybe someday you'll realize that love is truly the only way anybody ever gets free
I mean that honestly

So run baby run baby run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Run baby run
Run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Your dreams

You're always looking around
In the heart of downtown
For handstands and toasts to your health
From strangers, and past loves, and friends
Who won't be there in the end

So run baby run

As you trip to the magical water swim, try not to drown
Just remember when it's time to get out that I won't be found anywhere around
Because I can't be second or third unless I'm someone else
And I can't deny or love less I can just be myself
I never thought you'd be the one to make my heart go black
But I'm telling the world in a song I was wrong about that
So wrong about that

Run baby run baby run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Run baby run
Run baby run
Run to your river of dreams
Your dreams
Your dreams

Your dreams
