[Verse 1]

You're a fire and you're careless

You keep burning down our dreams

I'm a shadow, running blind

I can feel you in the heat

[Chorus]

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

[Verse 2]

And the night is a coffee cup

Dark licorice line that's been wired to the street

I can feel it in my teeth

[Chorus]

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

[Bridge]

From the rivers and the reeds and the burning waters

Past the nightmare streets and forgotten borders

With the whispers and the waves and the silent offers

I've been there

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

[Vesre 3]

You're a fire and you're careless

You keep burning down our dreams

I'm a shadow, running blind

I can feel you in the heat

[Chorus]

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

To the river, run me to the river

[Bridge]

From the rhythm and the rage and the lonely corners

Past the blinding scenes that were falling forward

With the shivers and the shakes when the fever breaks

I've been there

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?

So why can't I be with you?
