[Verse 1]
Fake plastic palm trees and cellophane
Concrete and billboards in East LA
My point of view might disappear
I always feel so small out here
We used to make out in my truck
Said you were in love, but not enough
One day, you said, "It's over"
Took off to California

[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you have to run away?
Be someone that you're not
Every time I hear your name
My stomach drops

[Chorus]
I'm on the other side of the river, river
You're outta town, gettin' high
Watch me shiver, shiver
Dirt roads and drug deals and tweakers
Heartbreak you feel through the speakers
I'm on the other side
Watch me shiver, shiver
(Oh-oh-oh, shiver, shiver)
[Verse 2]
I fell asleep by the river bed
Woke up, thought I smelled your cigarettes
Walked home, barefoot past the park
Where you and I fell apart

[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you have to run away?
Be someone that you're not
Every time I hear your name
My stomach drops

[Chorus]
I'm on the other side of the river, river
You're outta town, gettin' high
Watch me shiver, shiver
Dirt roads and drug deals and tweakers
Heartbreak you feel through the speakers
I'm on the other side
Watch me shiver, shiver
Oh-oh-oh (Shiver, shiver)
Oh-oh-oh (Shiver, shiver)

[Pre-Chorus]
Why'd you have to run away?
Be someone that you're not
Every time I hear your name
My stomach drops
[Chorus]
I'm on the other side of the river, river
You're outta town, gettin' high
Watch me shiver, shiver
Dirt roads and drug deals and tweakers
Heartbreak you feel through the speakers
I'm on the other side
Watch me shiver, shiver
Oh-oh-oh (Shiver, shiver)
Oh-oh-oh (Shiver, shiver)

[Outro]
Dirt roads and drug deals and tweakers
Heartbreak you feel through the speakers
I'm on the other side
Watch me shiver, shiver
