Please don't pay me any mind
As I stand here by
By the riverside
Watching it all go by
I just find all this life quite syntillating
It surprises me every time
That you can quite easily
Brush aside your past endeavours
Just by the plain fact of the sight
And feeling fine
I'm just wasting time
The sunlight by my side
Raise a bottle to the sky
As the busses roll on by
The truth is no one knows
Where this river goes
If I'm to ride the wave
Then just let the current flow
If life hands you a bone
That you know you need to throw
And hope that it will go
Where you want it to go
If it hands you a map
Then take advantage of that
And you will learn the facts
When you need to know the facts
And the river loves all that
Please don't give it a second thought
If you see me poor
Baskin' by the rivershore
Watching the city I adore
I don't know what's in store anymore
I don't know why I should be angry
But that's what life is for the most part
Or so I hear
But that's what life is for the most part
But not here
I'm just wasting time
The sunlight by my side
Raise a bottle to the sky
As the busses roll on by
The truth is no one knows
Where this river goes
If I'm to ride the wave
Then just let the current flow
If life hands you a bone
That you know you need to throw
And hope that it will go
Where you want it to go
If it hands you a map
Then take advantage of that
And you will learn the facts
When you need to know the facts
I'm just wasting time
The sunlight by my side
Raise a bottle to the sky
As the busses roll on by
The truth is no one knows
Where this river goes
If I'm to ride the wave
Then just let the current flow
If life hands you a bone
That you know you need to throw
And hope that it will go
Where you want it to go
If it hands you a map
Then take advantage of that
And you will learn the facts
When you need to know the facts
And the river loves all that
