lyrics

I’m tryna map out my love for you
I don’t know where it began
We’re going walking at Shark River soon
Geography I understand

Please tell me where the line is drawn in the sand
I can’t see it anymore
Is it too much to ask for you to have this conversation?
Or has your head also been resting on that door?

You go on writing songs about the wrong river
I’ll be burning my bridges
You keep on foraging for mushrooms in the forest
I’ll keep on pulling off ticks

I swear you saw that movie cause you warned me of the party scene
And when the girl would get sick
You said “I really think you’ll love it friend, it’s gay enough”
And I said “there is no such thing”

You go on writing songs about the wrong river
I’ll be building my bridges
You keep on foraging for mushrooms in the forest
I’ll keep on pulling off ticks

You go on writing songs about the wrong river
I’ll be harmonizing
You keep on being there whenever I call for you
I’ll keep writing what I miss
