Tell me am I real or am I dreaming?
She was sleepless in the sweltering night
Her weary eyes in the iPhone light
The midnight Sun had walked her to the door
It had kissed her neck discreetly
And at the moment when she turned the key
A song had joined me in my reverie
I played it gently to the rooftops and the trees
A flow of chords and a flock of geese
She heard the music, she was listening in
And in return she sent a word on a wing
From her pillow to the valley below
Where I soon succumbed to slumber
An ice cube melting by the side of my bed
Echoing the insides of my sluggish head
A homing dove left me a letter that read
Tell me am I real or am I dreaming?
All is over
Everything is starting new
Everything's in front of you
Follow the river
She poured the vodka and she twisted the lime
Her perfume blended with the Bourbon and thyme
The room was easy in the afternoon breeze
As she held it in her hands
And I showed up because I knew she'd be there
I was sunburned, I got drunk out of nowhere
My friends with families and real jobs were all gone
But I stayed behind because the lights were still on
She offered Seltzer from her soda gun
Her eyes were sparkling and the whole room spun
The street outside was sticky golden dew
And I wanted just to stay
All my senses overwhelmed and outdone
By every love song playing all at once
I sobered up and stumbled home alone
All is over
Everything is starting new
Everything's in front of you
Follow the river
All is over
Everything is coming true
There was always hope for you
Follow the river
She was still asleep in the morning light
Her body rendering events of last night
Skin of milky silk, eyelids softly shut
And an endless playlist playing
Algorithms couldn't make this stuff up
Or blossom like the flower of a buttercup
Or whisper unintelligible sounds of life
Tell me, am I real or am I dreaming still?
We woke up to a song we had never heard
But our entire beings knew it word for word
Tangled up in an unmade bed, overlooking Sunday City
Listening for pleasure or the absence of pain
Listening to the heart beat and the pouring rain
Listen to The Sirens and The Way Love Goes
Listen to the body cause the body knows
Listen to The Dinos and Survivors Guilt
The Origin Story and The Vanderbilts
Listen to the sound of life itself and it sings!
All is over
Everything is starting new
Everything's in front of you
Follow the river
All is over
Everything is coming true
There was always hope for you
Follow the river
