Rover Shore

Everyone comes from somewhere
At this point, we're strangers
I wanted to meet you 'cause something screamed interesting and personable too
Your image was clear to me
Maybe some courage would push me to stand up and find out if we were alike in thinking

We talked of our childhood
We slept in the living room
We walked in the rain and sang under our umbrella even though it was only meant for one single person
I fell in love with you and your presence did satisfy
But something went wrong and then nothing felt right

You let go of the handle and ran somewhere else
None of it made sense
Oh, it wasn't so clear
And since then I've waited for your image to walk by
Since then I've waited through autumn and winter
Since then I've shivered through everything cold
Since then our umbrella broke free from our hold

I've been showered in decay beneath watered down leaves my friend, you're unaffected and unfazed?
I wanted us to go back home, but you had wandered away
Oh, I've reached out to you! Yes, I believed we were close
So tell me, what else would my thinking consider?
I found you at the shoreline, I've been looking for years
For someone who never existed outside my brain

I never left Rover Shore
