[Verse 1]

Drop like a shoe on the black of the pavement

Wait at the top of the beach, let the wave hit

All that I wanted and more, it's amazing

Kill all the grass on the side of the highway

Flock to the shore on a tropical Sunday

Roll and I roll, when's it gonna roll my way?

[Chorus]

I don't wanna stay long

Please don't make me wait

The river holds a secret

I'm standing on the banks

Yeah, I'm standing at the edge now

Looking for a sign

But what's the use in trying

If it's like this by design?

[Verse 2]

Call to the wind, let her know that I miss her

Saving all my pеnnies for keychains and t-shirts

How can I do what I do when thе world hurts? Mmm

Kill all the grass on the edge of the greenway

Guy in the street selling mixtapes of reggae

Pack up my bag and my passport, fly away

[Chorus]

I don't wanna stay long (I don't wanna stay)

Please don't make me wait (Make me wait)

The river holds a secret (Holds a secret)

I'm standing on the banks (Standing on the banks)

Yeah, I'm standing at the edge now (At the edge now)

Looking for a sign

But what's the use in trying (What's the use in trying?)

If it's like this by design? (By design)

[Bridge]

Now I settle in to watch the Jersey pines and white pines

Buckling toward the ground as I cross the borderline

Looks like this land'll hang on to her mystery for another century or two

But I can't keep mine

[Chorus]

I don't wanna stay long

Please don't make me wait

The river holds a secret

I'm standing on the banks

Yeah, I'm standing at the edge now

Looking for a sign

But what's the use in trying

If it's like this by design?

Like this by design

[Outro]

Standing at the edge now

What's the use in trying

If it's like this by design?
