I was cleaning the ash from the fire and putting the party away helping out all of my lost friends to see the light of day I was feeling the wind through the windows Sometimes it crashed through the wall seems like it comes out of nowhere theres no warning at all chorus sometimes a river sometimes a river runs dry sometimes a river sometimes a river runs high I was making my way through a movie finding it hard to decide sometimes it hits without warning and turns me over inside making a stab in the darkness wearing a hole in the floor suddenly everything changes your not the same as before chorus you danced in my dream in a white dress i watched from the top of the stairs i woke up looking to find you but you were not there 17 hours of driving but thats not a surprise the worlds all heavy with traffic they never were good at goodbyes no we never were good at goodbyes chorus
