River When I'm With You

[Verse 1]
You talk
And the edges blur
Hard days start to come unglued
Traffic lights fade in my rearview
I’m drifting toward you
Coffee cup on your kitchen sink
My guard folds like an old canoe
Every stone that I used to cling to
Lets go in this room
[Chorus]
I become a river when I’m with you
Soft banks
Slow bend
Running straight to you
All my broken pieces
Floating past the trees and into blue
I become a river when I’m with you
(when I’m with you)
[Verse 2]
You laugh
And the dam gives out
All the fear rushing into truth
I’m spilling over my quiet doubts
Right into you
Bare feet on your wooden floor
Your hand brushing mine in two
I never knew I could move like water
Until you came through
[Chorus]
I become a river when I’m with you
Soft banks
Slow bend
Running straight to you
All my broken pieces
Floating past the trees and into blue
I become a river when I’m with you
(when I’m with you)
[Bridge]
Take my time
Take my pride
Let it slide downstream tonight
If I flood
Just hold on tight
Let the current choose
[Chorus]
I become a river when I’m with you
Soft banks
Slow bend
Running straight to you
Name every constellation
While I carry every secret you once knew
I become a river when I’m with you
I become a river when I’m with you

Intimate indie-pop ballad with warm electric piano, brushed drums, and soft male vocals. Verses stay close and conversational, then chorus blooms with airy harmonies, subtle bass swells, and a gentle tambourine shimmer. Bridge strips to keys and vocal before a final, lifted chorus with a slightly busier drum pattern and a lingering reverb tail.
