Down By the river
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We hit Starbucks, roll down the top
It's the last time Carrie and I will drive to the beach
'Cause we think it's time to grow up
Well I've never been good at that
I wanna live for today
I have such good intentions
And my dreams are no less than that of yesterday
Does anyone really know
Where we should go?
Chorus:
Meet me where we can dream
Down by the river
Everybody's got a dream
Down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream
By the river
Who knows where it may lead? Yeah
The radio's blasting and we're singing
And I'm feeling unstoppable
When did I let life become so damn hard?
Well I'm heading to what dreams are made of
I won't turn my back to the stars
Oh yesterday
Does anyone really know
Where we should go?
Meet me where we can dream
Down by the river
Everybody's got a dream
Down by the sea
Meet me where we can dream
By the river
Does anybody really know
Where we should go?
Chorus
Meet me where we can dream... oh, meet me
Meet me where we can dream... down by the river
Meet me where we can dream... yeah
Meet me where we can dream (repeats)
