about
did you ever catch tadpoles when you were young?
this song is about me thinking that they were my best friends.
and of course, they weren't
this song is about me thinking that they were my best friends.
and of course, they weren't
lyrics
I never told you how I lost and found you
We was sittin in the wilderness
The bayou
Was callin for your body and profound
You suggested that we travel through the tides
Yeah we was swimming to the tempo of the river
We fell in love there
By the timber
And I know that you were just a mere tadpole
But in my mind at the time you were so much more
So I danced by the Buffalo under the moonlight
Hoping you would come before I went back to streetlights
Stops signs, yellow lines, bricks, and highways
And all the things that made me think you thought it was my ways
No
I don’t expect you to come home because
No
Its not my place
to call myself a home
well sure enough I took your advice
I packed my bags with my rags and my rice
I left my home
And left my friends
And righted my wrongs by writing my end
I know that you were just a mere tadpole
But in my mind at the time you were so much more
And when I came back in the spring
And saw you had grown
We looked at each other and together we knew
We know
That
our life’s just like
A river flow
Never gon’ stop get where we go (x2)
My life’s just like
A river flow
Never gon’ stop get where I go
We was sittin in the wilderness
The bayou
Was callin for your body and profound
You suggested that we travel through the tides
Yeah we was swimming to the tempo of the river
We fell in love there
By the timber
And I know that you were just a mere tadpole
But in my mind at the time you were so much more
So I danced by the Buffalo under the moonlight
Hoping you would come before I went back to streetlights
Stops signs, yellow lines, bricks, and highways
And all the things that made me think you thought it was my ways
No
I don’t expect you to come home because
No
Its not my place
to call myself a home
well sure enough I took your advice
I packed my bags with my rags and my rice
I left my home
And left my friends
And righted my wrongs by writing my end
I know that you were just a mere tadpole
But in my mind at the time you were so much more
And when I came back in the spring
And saw you had grown
We looked at each other and together we knew
We know
That
our life’s just like
A river flow
Never gon’ stop get where we go (x2)
My life’s just like
A river flow
Never gon’ stop get where I go

Certainly a controversial direction for the band, but this album ultimately rests as my favorite from TTNG. The technical mastery of their previous albums is still present here along with some very thought provoking and philosophical lyrics. I may not always agree with the lyrical messaging, but this is an album which rewards careful listening.
