The River

It was December, us at the river
You were so strong for so long, but then
You had to let go, leaving my hands so cold
And the current took you drifting off the shore

"Will time catch up to us?" you said

I think about the names, not every story the same
But there comes a day where we'll meet at the river
I can't force myself to face, 'cause I know that there's a day
Where we can't escape the fate of the river

We thought we'd be able to leave our paintings on the wall
When we hung them thought we would never take them down
If only I'd known that one day we'd lose control
I would have put up a better fight, now it's a line I can't rewrite

"Do you think this is it? Do we run?" I said

I think about the names, not every story the same
But there comes a day where we'll meet at the river
I can't force myself to face, 'cause I know that there's a day
Where we can't escape the fate of the river

When we meet at the riverbed
I will do anything I can
To hold on a little longer
If we had a minute longer
When we meet at the riverbed
I'll take you by the hand
We'll run into the water
Wish I had a second longer

I think about the names, not every story the same
But there comes a day where we'll meet at the river

I think about the names, not every story the same
But there comes a day where we'll meet at the river
I can't force myself to face, 'cause I know that there's a day
Where we can't escape the fate of the river

Let's stay in today
'Cause this moment won't linger
Now we wait for the day
Where we meet at the river
