I bound down steps
Across the edge
With crouch and craggle
My clawed hand grasping
My clawed hand groping
I'm still hoping
Yes, I'm still hoping
You're not far behind
Grass and brush
And Country's short
A school team formed
And school divulged
And splinters, and sunburn, in summer
Bounce and turn, but I can float
We'll never know the difference
But why can't he swim
But I can float
I'll never know the distance
I'm staring down at the dark green waters
They know their childhoods
And said, "clean days"
The river reflections
Looking back
Looking up at us
Looking up, at us
When ten years are gone
And I'm still sinking
My raw hand grasping
My clawed hand groping
I'm still hoping
Yes, I'm still hoping
Ten years have gone
And I'm still hoping
With splinters, and sunburn, in summer
Bounce and turn, but I can float
We'll never know the difference
But why can't he swim
But I can float
I'll never know the distance
