Text: Mandy Moore. Amanda Leigh. Merrimack River.

Restless to begin, a wave comes crashing in
The band on stage is tuning, jacarandas are blooming
Your face sketched in my dreams puts my mind at ease
Beneath the water frozen the Merrimack river is flowing
Thunder rolling over

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are

Rows of boys and girls run out to seek the world
Candy coated promise just out of reach when you want it
Give me something sweet, bring me to the brink
I'll leave without hesitation to a world without limitation
Rock me patient, slowly

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are
You know you are

A world that moves too fast, a mouth of broken glass
It may not seem so painful
By January the rain will swallow, change will follow

Don't say you're not amazed when you know you are
And don't say you're not afraid when you know you are
You know you are, I know you are
