Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Used to swear I’d leave this town
Draw a map in the back of my notebook
Every page
Big plans
Small crown
Thought the future was a straight look
Now it’s dishes in the sink
Emails
Rent
And late trains
Friends I only see in links
Birthdays missed
Half-packed dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
But the clock hands don’t ask me
If I’m ready when they turn
I’m just learning as they’re burning
[Chorus]
I’m grown now
It’s different
But the river still runs
Some days feel like losing
Some days like the sun
I can’t stop the seasons
I can’t freeze the room
So I’ll live it
Live it
Every rise
Every ruin
Yeah
I’ll live it
Live it
Every high
Every bruise
[Verse 2]
Mom’s hair showing silver lines
Dad laughs softer on the phone now
Old house got a “For Sale” sign
Guess even roots have to roam out
There were hearts I meant to keep
There were chances that I dropped
Sometimes I stay up and weep
For the doors I never knocked
[Pre-Chorus]
But the road keeps unfolding
Even where I can’t quite see
And it’s pulling
Pulling me
[Chorus]
I’m grown now
It’s different
But the river still runs
Some days feel like losing
Some days like the sun
I can’t stop the seasons
I can’t freeze the room
So I’ll live it
Live it
Every rise
Every ruin
Yeah
I’ll live it
Live it
Every high
Every bruise
[Bridge]
Maybe peace is
Letting old pictures fade at the edges
Maybe grace is
Talking kind to the face in the mirror
When it’s heavy
When it’s holy
When it’s breaking me open slowly
I’ll be breathing
I’ll be learning to choose (oh)
[Chorus]
I’m grown now
It’s different
But the river still runs
Some days feel like losing
Some days like the sun
I can’t stop the seasons
I can’t freeze the room
So I’ll live it
Live it
Every rise
Every ruin
Yeah
I’ll live it
Live it
Every high
Every bruise
