White-haired waking mountains, shedding their old skin, sun ready peeks in
Spinning a stick in the backyard, making the wind charge, kitchen sink up in arms
Motorbike behind the garage door won’t start, the heat swarms
Swimsuits and sister’s scorn
Screaming profanity, dreaming, I drift through the streets and I see like the bird’s eye completely
We are going downstream
Gonna see where everything ends up
Where the current feeds the sea
Where does everything end up
Pretending to sleep in a hotel bed, miss the home smell read 'til my eyes shot lead
We rip down the highway, shoulder to shoulder, as stepdad steps Suzuki fifty clicks over
Heard words exchanged through the window frame open for grandparents furious faces demanding change
Prairie sweet golden summer, concrete hot rubber swing in my new untied runners
We are going downstream
Gonna see where everything ends up
Where the current feeds the sea
Where does everything end up
Chin deep in the icy river, you bathtub jet sea captain stand and deliver
Stumble out bubbles still bursting, feeling the worst thing, to wake up and not be a king
So you climb to the top of the reclining chair trying to remind us to cherish the time that we share
Eleanor, lilac and marigold eyes, she is soft, turquoise, voice like the breeze in July
We are going downstream
Gonna see where everything ends up
Where the current feeds the sea
Where does everything end up
We are going downstream
Gonna see where everything ends up
Where the current feeds the sea
Where does everything end up
When you can't remember me
Where does everything end up
