Lyrics
Sitting Beside
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.
Love, I think, is a river.
You just jump in and let it take you away.
It's mostly out of control,
And you can only stay as long as it'll let you stay.
And I've been in the water,
And it's the greatest thing you'll ever know.
But you can't control the river;
Mostly it's warm, but sometimes it's cold.
And you rush along, and it pulls you under,
And it lets you up if you're looking for air.
And now I've found myself on the river bank
'Cause love decided to put me there.
And there's nothing worse than watching
The one who swam beside you,
Who kept your head above water,
Drifting away 'cause love spat you out.
It's so quiet now,
Everyone is rushing past.
I had a partner, a mentor, a friend,
We met an impasse.
And the trees around me
Whisper that life is gonna pass me by.
I can see the river flowing, flowing, never knowing,
And I'm wondering why.
And you rush along, and it pulls you under,
And it lets you up if you're looking for air.
And now I've found myself on the river bank
'Cause love decided to put me there.
And there's nothing worse than watching
The one who swam beside you,
Who kept your head above water,
Drifting away 'cause love spat you out.
Love, I think, is a river.
You just jump in and let it take you away.
It's mostly out of control,
And you can only stay as long as it'll let you stay.
And I've been in the water,
And it's the greatest thing you'll ever know.
But you can't control the river;
Mostly it's warm, but sometimes it's cold.
And you rush along, and it pulls you under,
And it lets you up if you're looking for air.
And now I've found myself on the river bank
'Cause love decided to put me there.
And there's nothing worse than watching
The one who swam beside you,
Who kept your head above water,
Drifting away 'cause love spat you out.
