River Lyrics

Well this world it seems

Was built for someone bigger than us

So we trip and fall at the beck and call

Of those we blindly trust

But when your luck starts to turn and your stars align

You'll get to thinking that you know a little bit about this life

But when you crash and burn child you'll come to find

It's really just a roll of the dice

It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream

There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps

Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring

So don't let me drown if you don't want this boat to sink

Well these shields of ours

They guard us from the whip of the night

But they weigh us down and when morning comes around

Well we can never seem to stand ourselves upright

So hold onto me and I vow

To keep my grip

And even if that means risking everything

Well honey, you can send me right down with the ship

It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream

There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps

Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring

So don't let me drown if you don't want this boat to sink

Slow down

We're taking water fast

Don't you jump the gun, there's no need to run

From what we've already passed

It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream

There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps

Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring

And I won't let you drown 'cause I don't want this goddamn boat to sink
