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..............
