[Verse 1]
You said it’s fine
You always say it’s fine
But your jaw is wired tight
Like you’re biting back the tide
Eyes on the floor
You circle every word
Every answer comes out slow
Like you’re scaring off the hurt
[Chorus]
You’re a river
River
River in the dark
Running quiet
Carving patterns through my heart
I can feel you pulling even when you say you’re still
River
River
Drag me where you will
[Verse 2]
Phone in your hand
You let it start to ring
Watch your name light up the glass
Like it’s some forbidden thing
You laugh too sharp
Then let the echo fade
Every breath you never take
Is another dam you made
[Chorus]
You’re a river
River
River in the dark
Running quiet
Carving patterns through my heart
I can feel you pulling even when you say you’re still
River
River
Drag me where you will
[Bridge]
What are you hiding under that calm? (yeah)
Who are you saving by staying strong?
Say it
Say it
Say it till it shakes the walls
Till the banks break open and the flood just falls
[Chorus]
You’re a river
River
River in the dark
Running quiet
Carving patterns through my heart
I can feel you pulling even when you say you’re still
River
River
Drag me where you will
River
River
I am drowning in the thrill
