By Design Lyrics

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?

I don't want to 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?

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

Saving all my pennies for keychains and t-shirts

I can I do what I do when the world hurts

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

I don't want to 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?

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 will hang onto her mystery for another century or two

But I can't keep mine

I don't want to 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?
