Chapstick and Change

Chapstick and change in my pocket

Lint and old breadcrumbs

Tried to fit my dreams in my jeans

But they were torn tattered and done (x2)

They still fit in the waist

Just a tad bit shorter

Thought I was through, but I did grew

An inch and a quarter (x2)

CHORUS
I go down to the river

To bathe and cleanse

I don't test the water

Close my eyes, plug my nose and jump in

Picture of you in my pocket

Mini polaroid

I put your face to a time and a place

In my memory forever embroidered (x2)

Snapshots in my mind

Just to hold down time

Want to remember Jan through December 

Every minute in between

CHORUS
I go down to the river

To bathe and cleanse

I don't test the water

Close my eyes, plug my nose and jump in

Taken this journey before

Always seem to get lost

I'll make my way back to you

No matter the cost (x2)

Follow the northern star

If I ever need to get home

I close my eyes and pretend that you’re here

If I'm feeling so alone (x2)

CHORUS
I go down to the river

To bathe and cleanse

I don't test the water

Close my eyes, plug my nose and jump in
