River

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
