Downstream, maybe I'll see you in a while
With my crooked nose and the usual smile
It's the same it's the style
It's the flames of the fire we made
At least I guess it kept us warm in this rain
Been a minute, yah it's been a minute
Just said goodbye already thinkin' how we spent the minutes
Opened up and bent the limits
Broke in love, expensive living
We did it differently, duh, 'cause this was ours
Nobody stenciling it
You opened up your heart I put my pencil in it
Someday I'll realize how sorry I should be
Took for granted how you kept my toothbrush in that cup
Someday you'll probly find a crush becomes love
And I'll be crushed but it's life
I made choices, I tried not to be poisonous
Lied to myself, but you did the same too
I'm still to blame, but we misread each other
Both so convinced that our wish had came true
Downstream, maybe I'll see you in a while
With your sly jokes
And your hooligan smile
It's the same it's the style
It's the flames of the fire we made
At least I guess it kept us warm in this rain
Look I treated our time shared as sacred still
For whatever it's worth, it's worth
I'm learning through my mistakes just gotta make some still
It's not what you deserved, deserved
But c'mon, we knew we might not be compatible
Two young humans tryna make it in Seattle
So grateful for moments when you helped me through my shadows
After records, when I fell apart, you put me back together!
Left me in your bed woke up, made a little breakfast
Maybe I was reckless or just stupid disconnected
Didn't think we could be partners with my musical direction
But as I write about it now feel like gave up on perfection
I'm sorry my love moves many directions
Gave you exactly what I had to give
True to myself I'm a man who makes connections deep
For some reason that's the adjective
Downstream, maybe I'll see you in a while
With my crooked nose and the usual smile
It's the same it's the style
It's the flames of the fire we made
At least I guess it kept us warm in this rain
