Lyrics
0:10I once dreamt of brown stone building with a front porch
0:13Mandevilla vine wound around the rungs
0:16Summer dress on a bedroom floor
0:18You pressed close enough to me to feel the breath in my lungs
0:21Until we walk down lyndale
0:22Almost lockstep
0:24Not too slow
0:25But just enough for progress
0:26Time was wasted debating all of them odds and ends
0:29Ain't no floating this river baby we gotta swim
0:33You were born in July
0:34I was born December 19 1980 orwell
0:37The years came and they went
0:39But the chains of events
0:40Sparked a change in the wind
0:41And now we're sharing a doorbell
0:43We returned to the haven that we created
0:45And later we laid in the shade with lemonade in the backyard
0:48The sun faded and when I looked at the paper
0:50It's twenty years in the future
0:52I knew we would make it that far
0:54I knew that we would make it that far
0:57I knew that we would make it that far
0:59I knew that we would make it that far
1:02I knew that we would make it that far
1:05I knew that we would make it that far
1:07I knew that we would make it that far
1:10I knew that we would make it that far
1:13I knew that we would make it that far
1:14I once dreamt of a blonde haired girl beneath the bus stop
1:17When we were both still young and eyes bright
1:20Somebody told me that she lived around the corner
1:22I was knocking on her door like hey do you wanna ride bikes
1:25Those summers always seemed to smother under winter
1:28My mother would make me bundle up with gloves to cover up my fingers
1:31But she had none when we were playing make believe
1:33And when I tried to hold her hand
1:35That's when she ran away from me
1:36Damn
1:37Well that was my first bee sting
1:39Next few years tried to find her each spring
1:41But these things rarely ever come to closure
1:44Never got her new address before she left for minnesota
1:47I don't suppose you know her and it's just coincidence
1:49But if it's what I think it is then this is just the start
1:52The only difference is I never really knew her
1:54Till twenty years in the future
1:56But knew we would make it this far
1:58I knew that we would make it that far
2:01I knew that we would make it that far
2:03I knew that we would make it that far
2:06I knew that we would make it that far
2:09I knew that we would make it that far
2:11I knew that we would make it that far
2:14I knew that we would make it that far
2:17I knew that we would make it
I once dreamt of brown stone building with a front porch Mandevilla vine wound around the rungs Summer dress on a bedroom floor You pressed close enough to me to feel the breath in my lungs Until we walk down lyndale Almost lockstep Not too slow But just enough for progress Time was wasted debating all of them odds and ends Ain't no floating this river baby we gotta swim You were born in July I was born December 19 1980 orwell The years came and they went But the chains of events Sparked a change in the wind And now we're sharing a doorbell We returned to the haven that we created And later we laid in the shade with lemonade in the backyard The sun faded and when I looked at the paper It's twenty years in the future I knew we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I once dreamt of a blonde haired girl beneath the bus stop When we were both still young and eyes bright Somebody told me that she lived around the corner I was knocking on her door like hey do you wanna ride bikes Those summers always seemed to smother under winter My mother would make me bundle up with gloves to cover up my fingers But she had none when we were playing make believe And when I tried to hold her hand That's when she ran away from me Damn Well that was my first bee sting Next few years tried to find her each spring But these things rarely ever come to closure Never got her new address before she left for minnesota I don't suppose you know her and it's just coincidence But if it's what I think it is then this is just the start The only difference is I never really knew her Till twenty years in the future But knew we would make it this far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it that far I knew that we would make it
