The River

Not all that glitters is gold
I'm tired of fitting the mold
Was it for real or for show?
I got my back to the ropes

It's been weighing on me
But I'm right here where I should be
Can't keep staring at the sun
Desperate days are ending
But I just can't shake the feeling
Things seemed better off before

I've been awake too long
Chasing the river
And now it's gone
Just what I counted on
I've been afraid too long
Can't pull the trigger
No right or wrong
I'm right where I belong (oh)

All I can see is your ghost
Right when I needed it most
Burned bridges turn into roads
I'm getting closer to home

It's been weighing on me
But I'm right here where I should be
Can't keep staring at the sun
Desperate days are ending
But I just can't shake the feeling
Things seemed better off before

I've been awake too long
Chasing the river
And now it's gone
Just what I counted on
I've been afraid too long
Can't pull the trigger
No right or wrong
I'm right where I belong

Somebody take me home
Sometimes you're down and out
I'm trying to drown it out
Somebody take me home
Sometimes you're down and out
I'm trying to drown it out

Not all that glitters is gold
So what are you fighting for?
Why can't you let it go?
Why can't you let it go?

I've been awake too long
Chasing the river
And now it's gone
Just what I counted on
I've been afraid too long
Can't pull the trigger
No right or wrong
I'm right where I belong

Somebody take me home
Sometimes you're down and out
I'm trying to drown it out
Somebody take me home
Sometimes you're down and out
I'm trying to drown it out
