I was born with a change of heart
I got out before I could start
I saw for a million miles
All the smiles were there for a while

Now I’m wandering the streets like a wave
I look back only when I can’t stay
And I move like a man, like a child
I got in when it was out of style

Now I’m mid river down
I got tears on my crown
And I know when I’m not around
I’m mid river born like I’d been there before
Like I’d been, I’d been there before

I’m standing on a nameless grave
And I’m waiting on a trackless train
And I’m walking on the edge of my brain
I get lost when I try to find my way

Or I’m frozen on the edge of my seat
And I float like a lock and hopeless key
And I seep deep into the reaches of the trees
And I fall like a waterfall bleeds

And my mid river’s the same as yours
All intention and no remorse
And the pinwheels all line the shore
They’re all waving to me back and forth

And I’m living in a dream like that
My nature is to break before I crack
I strike before I light the match
And I fight like I stand a chance

Now I’m mid river down
I got tears on my crown
And I know when I’m not around
I’m mid river born like I’d been there before
Like I’d been, I’d been there before.
