lyrics
I’d been running like a river down the path of least resistance
When I got caught in the eddy’s of your deep calm pool
I was thinkin’ i’d keep moving till my body gave out
And my knee’s began to tremble at the sight of you
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
Is it just in my imagination; all this longing?
I have heard that everything is always as it must be
When you’ve only got a little, you’ve got more room for moving
And for carrying the friends you find along the way
Oh my god
Where am I going?
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
You said it must be lonely when you’re always moving
But there’s comfort found in doing what you’re born to do
I had always thought that I was born for singing love songs
But I’m thinking now that I was born for loving you
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
I was like a wave upon an endless ocean
'Til I found a shore on which I could break
When I got caught in the eddy’s of your deep calm pool
I was thinkin’ i’d keep moving till my body gave out
And my knee’s began to tremble at the sight of you
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
Is it just in my imagination; all this longing?
I have heard that everything is always as it must be
When you’ve only got a little, you’ve got more room for moving
And for carrying the friends you find along the way
Oh my god
Where am I going?
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
You said it must be lonely when you’re always moving
But there’s comfort found in doing what you’re born to do
I had always thought that I was born for singing love songs
But I’m thinking now that I was born for loving you
Meet me when I make it to the outer south
On that tiny island you won't get away
Following the river through it’s changing seasons
Till we find a place we can stay
I was like a wave upon an endless ocean
'Til I found a shore on which I could break
