[Verse 1]
I watched the lights go out
one by one by one,
and I knew we were looking in the wrong place.
They struck it rich in Queenstown,
on the need of gentrification,
and I stayed away tryna save face
[Chorus]
But I
found a route, found a route to your love,
among the rocks and dust,
and I
found a route, found a route to your love,
and now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs.
[Verse 2]
I knew all the cars
just as soon as you changed your record,
though never heard the song when I was young.
And the words they lifted me away to 1884,
am I possible as a puddle and a gun,
oh.
[Chorus]
But I,
found a route, found a route to your love,
among the starlit stereo,
tribes,
found a route, found a route to your love,
despite the words of others,
and I,
found a route, found a route to your love,
and I'm glad it's here in this street.
I,
found a route, found a route to your love,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs.
[Bridge]
Paradise,
won't support my gardens and orchards and,
none of these plans will ever bear fruit.
My empty holes won't ever overflow
with laughter and music,
and I'd have to pull it if the words are to follow suit.
[Chorus]
But I,
found a route, found a route to your love,
am I in the bars and park 'cause,
I found a route, found a route to your love,
between the shadows and skyscrapers,
found a route, found a route to your love,
these traffic jams and roadblocks,
I found a route, found a route to your love,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs,
now I'm where the river runs.
Now I'm where the river runs.
