River

I'm not far from our tulips on the back porch
Just waiting to blossom
The hyacinth long awakened, but there's no shame
In taking your time
I drank the water from the river with your eyes upon me
As the summer was singing its old sad songs
And I know it's painfully obvious, but I had to say
I've been alone a long time

So don't let me down, I'm running out of breath
In the middle of your pond
And I know it's wrong, the way that I blame you
'Cause it's not your fault, but I resent you from time to time
And I miss the drugs most days while awake
I feel myself get frustrated and walk away
And it's attractive how you can be so assertive
I just want to talk forever
I just want to touch your summer

And I don't play coy, I don't have any answers
Hypnotized by the hips of my lover
Will you come 'round sundown to help me find out
How to live now?
And then the sun came up
And I made you breakfast dressed in nothing
But the way you hold me in your mind
I swear, I'm better when I'm gone
Where I can't do nothing wrong
Where I'm a whisper
