The current is strong from what I've heard
It'll whisk you down the stream
But I never seem to have the time
So my toes just touch the water
So my toes just touch the water

Daydreamed on the bank again
I was swimming with the fish
And I thought this time that it may be true
But my toes just touched the water
But my toes just touched the water
But my toes just touched the water

Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough
To step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin
To move

Walked a mile just to find the edge
Some place low enough
To step right in
Now I'm here and I can't begin
To move

That spoiled sun up over there
Always has to have its way
And now I know that the river's there to shelter me
But my toes just touch the water
But my toes just touch the water
But my toes just touch the water
