More Like a River

There's a motel in Texas
Hard bed under wide blue sky
I had a dream there
But morning came too soon
I roll over and I said it out loud
I said: Give me one more moment
Just one more moment
To finish this dream
I wanna be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
There's a house in the mountains
Filled with pits of me and you
I had a dream there
But morning came too soon
I've been holding on
It's been holding me back
I don't wanna give in
But I know what you'd say to me
Finish this dream
Can I be more like a river
And less like a wall
Not try to hold back
These feelings at all
'Cause when I miss you
When I'm dying to kiss you
I gotta let that flow
More like a river
'Cause in the mornings
There are kids, and dogs, and bills, and sunlight
And a new day, and a new day
And another new day without you
