[Verse 1]
And I'll try to leave the party
While I'm still having fun
But such a taste still keens, for the nibble has been
On the finest of afternoons
[Verse 2]
And where will you leave your sorrow?
Buried like coins of gold
On a chain to wear that's quite heavy to bear
For the finest of afternoons
[Chorus]
There's a shiver that runs through you
Though your quiver of life is full
Even darling buds die and rivers run dry
On the finest of afternoons
[Verse 3]
Why wear your tourniquet here?
Why would you tame your love?
But there were things in you that I never once knew
On the finest of afternoons
[Verse 4]
Did you taste the water?
Or was it filtered through?
When you did, you knew that the struggle was true
On the finest of afternoons
[Chorus]
There's a shiver that runs through you
Like the longing for something new
Even darling buds die and rivers run dry
On the finest of afternoons
[Bridge]
So how will you make your confessions?
With no kingdom within, such a rudderless thing we become
To see (To see)
To see such a simple condition
And I think that someone like you
Should've figured that out all along
[Chorus]
There's a shiver that runs through you
Like a quiver of love's first bloom
Even darling buds die and rivers run dry
On the finest of afternoons
[Outro]
And the river wants what, the river wants what
Will sever those ties for you
But in these terrible times, the pliant might find
The finest of afternoons
