Michael's Creek Lyrics - Hidden In Plain View

You sat crossing your legs 

outside on your front steps 

Just as i was making my way home 

I bummed a cigarette off of you 

and asked "what you were doin alone?" 

so i sat sad to hear your stories 

about friendships gone wrong 

we talked into the morning 

my god its been so long....... 

so lets fill these rivers up 

like crystal blue fountains 

and we'll build tall waterfalls that drip from mountains 

would you stay here by my side 

against the tides we'll stand strong 

we talked into the night, just catching up cause 

god its been so long.............. 

Did you see the creek dried up the one 

down below the Evergreens 

the place where we spent our younger days 

just the two of us fishing out all our dreams 

Its a metaphor, for you and me 

Its tried to ignore, but its plain to see 

so pull me back if im getting away 

and hold on by these threads 

as we go our seperate ways 

but just remember the dreams we made 

down here on Michaels creek 

the water never will flow the same, and never be the same 

I thought we would last forever.......... 

I thought we could last forever (pull me back if im getting away) 

I thought we would last forever (we can sew our threads again someday) 

I thought we would last forever................ 

so lets fill these rivers up 

like crystal blue fountains 

and we'll build tall waterfalls that drip from mountains 

would you stay here by my side 

against the tides we'll stand strong 

we talked into the night, just catching up cause 

god its been so long..............
