The Glass Age – The Riverbed Lyrics

It's so unhealthy to obsess
Over the colour of your dress
But I know you
Still think of me too
Like your room, my mind's a mess
But I have to confess
The more you play me
The more I think I need you

To the riverbed we sink
You took me to the brink
We slept much closer
Than two friends should
We'd had a bit to drink
And the summertime to think
I fell for you
Further than you thought I could

Sailboats made of paper fall apart
We barely made a start
I guess fate has played her part
She shot straight through my heart
With her tranquilizing dart
Still we'll never be oceans apart

You've left me burning back my tears
You know I haven't cried in years
You have me pinned
Against the tallest wall
Reeling in the future as it nears
One step ahead of all our fears
Truth is I'm grateful
That I found you at all

Sailboats made of paper fall apart
We barely made a start
I guess fate has played her part
She shot straight through my heart
With her tranquilizing dart
Still we'll never be oceans apart

High tide sweeps me into the sky
Where I catch you in the eye
Of a silver storm
I'll lie just to keep you warm
Hey, it was worth a try
It was worth a try
