lyrics

It was only just yesterday
It was my nineteenth birthday
I was in a basement bar room
I was drunk under the full moon
You walked me home that night
Everything just felt so right
I could have said anything at all
It was the start of a new dawn

Change comes fast
Love burns slow
Not much else
You need to know

We are on a winding river you and me
Sometimes it gets rough and hard to navigate
And it's learning as you go
Changes in the scenery
You can't forget what lies beneath

Before we knew it we were all grown
Finished school got jobs and bought a home
Went over a waterfall
We were capsized in the new dawn

Change comes fast
Love burns slow
Not much else
You need to know

We are on a winding river you and me
Sometimes it gets rough and hard to navigate
And it's learning as you go
Changes in the scenery
You can't forget what lies beneath

The kids come home from school alone
We're all handcuffed to a phone
Twenty years waking up to you
Only you can know the things that I've been through

Change comes fast
Love burns slow
Not much else
You need to know

We are on a winding river you and me
Sometimes it gets rough and hard to navigate
And it's learning as you go
Changes in the scenery
You can't forget what lies beneath
