The River Lyrics

Snow through the ceiling, the open road

You running towards it, the end of old

Chronicling, the age of us

Medicating, it's not enough

I wish I could just be honest

Though I've tried just getting on with it

Throw me back into the river

I'm so tired of being your giver

Melt down the feeling, and forge a shield

Better than nothing, that he could wield

Baiting then switching, a calling card

Only in private, is that so hard?

I wish I could just be honest

Though I've tried just getting on with it

Throw me back into the river

I'm so tired of being your giver

And maybe twenty years from now

At a party at somebody's house

We'll see each other far across the room

We'll reminisce about ourselves

How you've become somebody else

That's better for another person

Better just for them but not for me

Not for me

Not for me

Not for me

I wish I could just be honest

Though I've tried just getting on with it

Throw me back into the river

I'm so tired of being your giver

Ooh
