River
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.
Don't say you're sorry
You'll never have to be alone
I'm in on your actions
There's no hope for you to atone
You'll never know this pain inside, no lie
This heart will only heal in time
The clock is ticking the fear away
So take me to the river and run, I'm diving in
We'll see where it begins
Your loss when I fall in
So lead me to the brim where my breaking point is thin
You try to pull me in
Like fire in the wind
But I
I'm deep in shallow waters
I feel it pouring over
You're lost in the karma
This fever's rushing hot and cold
You're ripe for the harvest
Your only reach is what you sow
You'll never know this pain inside, no lie
This heart will only heal in time
The clock is ticking the fear away
So take me to the river and run, I'm diving in
We'll see where it begins
Your loss when I fall in
So lead me to the brim where my breaking point is thin
You try to pull me in
Like fire in the wind
But I
I'm deep in shallow waters
I feel it pouring over
Wade in the water
Oh-oh-oh oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh oh-oh oh
Wade in the water
Oh-oh-oh oh oh-oh oh
Oh-oh-oh oh oh-oh oh
Wade in the water
For your sons and daughters
Oh, I say wade in the water, yeah
Clock is ticking I'm out of breath
Take me to the river and run, I'm diving in
We'll see where it begins
Your loss when I fall in
So lead me to the brim where my breaking point is thin
You try to pull me in
Like fire in the wind
But I
I'm deep in shallow waters
I feel it pouring over
But I
I'm deep in shallow waters
I feel it pouring over
