The River

I see you on the street, you look the other way
I don't understand the things in your head
You're talking crazy now and I don't think you sleep
Why were you in the river?

You don't ever think about the times, the lies that you tell
You don't ever wanna see the ground
You don't ever wanna come around
But you do, you do, you do
Why were you in the river?

I see your future now, wrapped in a single day
I don't understand how you got here
Your eyes are shifting past the people on the street
Why were you in the river

You don't ever think about the times, the lies that you tell
You don't ever wanna see the ground
You don't ever wanna come around
But you do, you do, you do
Why were you in the river?

Hey you
What ya gonna do when you step outside
Narrowly avoiding looking life in the eye
Aint got a horse in this race, not talking 'bout pride
Can't help but wonder how ya got to this new disguise
What ya feel, how you live
You always seemed like an alright kid
Is it your heart, is it your mind
Has life really been that unkind
Oh baby
It don't always have to be so black and white
You can pull yourself back up, you can win the fight
Do the drugs make it worse or better?
And why were you in the river?
Where you just trying to get clean?
Oh baby just trying to get clean
Let me tell you this is not forever
C'mon baby c'mon out of the river

You don't ever think about the times, the lies that you tell
You don't ever wanna see the ground
You don't ever wanna come around
But you do, you do, you do
Why were you in the river?
