Spring of 2015, we were sleeping in the rain Nothing but our bags and our names Sounds of coyotes in the distance Kept us awake, awake through the night Oh, but we woke up to the sunrise Screaming our names, screaming our names Running around in the dessert off 385 It's where it began, we had our dreams in our hands Now I can say that I miss Merced If I don't see her soon I might as well be dead Water's so cold, yeah, but she's so warm Now I can say that I miss Merced August 2015, we were sleeping on a rock Middle of Merced, oh I love I love the way she roars at me She makes me think of myself, and I'm free Oh, but we woke up to the sunrise Screaming our names, screaming our names Oh, with my pen in my hand and my feet in the lake I wrote down my mistake And none for you Now I can say that I miss Merced If I don't see her soon I might as well be dead Water's so cold, yeah, but she's so warm Now I know I'm gonna see Merced, see Merced
