Rivers And Roads
The Head And The Heart · The Head And The Heart [2011]
A year from now we'll all be gone
All our friends will move away
And they're going to better places
But our friends will be gone away
Nothing is as it has been
And I miss your face like hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like hell
Been talking 'bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
And if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Said if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
[repeat]
All our friends will move away
And they're going to better places
But our friends will be gone away
Nothing is as it has been
And I miss your face like hell
And I guess it's just as well
But I miss your face like hell
Been talking 'bout the way things change
And my family lives in a different state
And if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Said if you don't know what to make of this
Then we will not relate
Rivers and roads
Rivers and roads
Rivers 'til I reach you
[repeat]
