It's been a while and I'm always amazed that the more people change
At least one thing stays the same
Come back around by the first of September
You've waited so long
But there's one thing you better remember
There must be something in the river
Grew out my hair and moved to Brooklyn for a year
But now I'm back here and I know
There must be something in the river
Seen people change as the years go by
But the water still moves like clouds in the sky and I know
There must be something in the river
City lights come into view
Massachusetts welcomes you and I know
There must be something in the river
Yeah I know, there must be something in the river
Neighbors complain about the noise on the street
But this city's got heart and a heart's gotta beat somehow
The kids just wanna get free
Most of my life I've been waiting inside
But it's hard to deny when the sun finally shines on the city
There must be something in the river
Summertime quickly turns to fall
I'm blinded by the weight of it all and I know
There must be something in the river
Yeah I know
There must be something in the river
There's so much out there to see
Sometimes you might feel alone
But you can guarantee
If somewhere down the line you lose your way
It'll be okay
You can always come back home
Cheer up boy, I know someday you're gonna make it
'Cause you don't have to be the best to be somebody's favorite
Through the mistakes and the growing pains
You can't shake the past but there's always room for change
Still I know
There must be something in the river
