River When I'm With You

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

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)

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

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)

Take my time

Take my pride

Let it slide downstream tonight

If I flood

Just hold on tight

Let the current choose

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
