Tell me am I real or am I dreaming?

She was sleepless in the sweltering night

Her weary eyes in the iPhone light

The midnight Sun had walked her to the door

It had kissed her neck discreetly

And at the moment when she turned the key

A song had joined me in my reverie

I played it gently to the rooftops and the trees

A flow of chords and a flock of geese

She heard the music, she was listening in

And in return she sent a word on a wing

From her pillow to the valley below

Where I soon succumbed to slumber

An ice cube melting by the side of my bed

Echoing the insides of my sluggish head

A homing dove left me a letter that read

Tell me am I real or am I dreaming?

All is over

Everything is starting new

Everything's in front of you

Follow the river

She poured the vodka and she twisted the lime

Her perfume blended with the Bourbon and thyme

The room was easy in the afternoon breeze

As she held it in her hands

And I showed up because I knew she'd be there

I was sunburned, I got drunk out of nowhere

My friends with families and real jobs were all gone

But I stayed behind because the lights were still on

She offered Seltzer from her soda gun

Her eyes were sparkling and the whole room spun

The street outside was sticky golden dew

And I wanted just to stay

All my senses overwhelmed and outdone

By every love song playing all at once

I sobered up and stumbled home alone

All is over

Everything is starting new

Everything's in front of you

Follow the river

All is over

Everything is coming true

There was always hope for you

Follow the river

She was still asleep in the morning light

Her body rendering events of last night

Skin of milky silk, eyelids softly shut

And an endless playlist playing

Algorithms couldn't make this stuff up

Or blossom like the flower of a buttercup

Or whisper unintelligible sounds of life

Tell me, am I real or am I dreaming still?

We woke up to a song we had never heard

But our entire beings knew it word for word

Tangled up in an unmade bed, overlooking Sunday City

Listening for pleasure or the absence of pain

Listening to the heart beat and the pouring rain

Listen to The Sirens and The Way Love Goes

Listen to the body cause the body knows

Listen to The Dinos and Survivors Guilt

The Origin Story and The Vanderbilts

Listen to the sound of life itself and it sings!

All is over

Everything is starting new

Everything's in front of you

Follow the river

All is over

Everything is coming true

There was always hope for you

Follow the river
