Lyrics

Five Fathoms

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I walk the city late at night

Does everyone here do the same?

I want to be the things I see

Give every face and place my name

I cross the street, take a right

Pick up the pace, pass a fight

Did I grow up just to stay home?

I'm not immune, I love this tune

I wanna love more

I just wanna love more

I wanna love more

I just wanna love more

I drag the city late at night

It's in my mouth, it's in my hair

And the people fill the city

Because the city fills the people, oh yeah

I cross the street, avoid the freeze

A city's warmer by a couple degrees

The smell of food

The smell of rain

I'm not immune, I love this tune

I wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I just wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I just wanna love more

I wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I just wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I wanna love more

There's a river in my head

I just wanna love more

The only way out is down

The day roll by like thunder

Like a storm that's never breaking

All my time and space compressed

In the low pressure of the proceedings

And they beat against the sides of my life

By the fistings of my life

And the roads all lead behind me

So I wrap the wheel around me and I go out

There's a river in my head

There's a river in my head

There's a river in my head

I'll take you home and make it easy

There's a river in my head

I'll take you home and make it easy

There's a river in my head

Love more

Love more
