This rock is tied around my ankle
This thorn is burried in my skin
I wonder why I have to struggle
But then again if I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
Oh, and if I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
You keep me broken
Chorus:
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround
So many puzzles with no answers
So many questions with no peace
So many second guesses, but then again I guess
If I wasn't drowning I wouldn't need you to save me
If I wasn't broken I wouldn't need you to heal me
Oh, Lord I'm drowning
Chorus:
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround
Na na na na
na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
na na na na
I need you
I need you
na na na na
Help me make this turnaround
Bridge:
I need you
I know I need you
Chorus:
Don't let this river get lost in the ocean
Don't let this rock take me down, down, down
My heart is standing at the edge of the world
I need you to help me make the turnaround
Turnaround
Na na na na
Na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
Na na na na
I need you
I need you
Na na na na
I need you
Na na na na
Help me make the turnaround
Na na na na
Na na na na
I'm standing at the edge
Na na na na
I'm standing at the edge
I need you
I need you
