Rivers

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We used to sit beside the stream
Passing words like polished stones
Something's shifted in between
The way you talk when I'm alone
I see the ripples in your smile
When others pass our private jokes
I feel the current change its style
The trust between us slowly soaks
[Chorus]
Your words flow different now
Like water turned to wine
Your words flow different now
And leave me far behind
[Post-chorus]
(Far behind, far behind)
(The truth I'll never find)
[Verse 2]
Remember picnics by the bank
Where promises were pure and clean?
Now every story seems to sink
Into the places I've not seen
You've turned my name to rushing waves
That crash through circles that we share
The peaceful waters that you gave
Have turned to storms I cannot bear
[Chorus]
Your words flow different now
Like water turned to wine
Your words flow different now
And leave me far behind
[Bridge]
The current pulls me under
With tales you've redesigned
Each truth becomes a wonder
Of what you left behind
[Verse 3]
The river bed is bone-dry now
Where once our friendship used to run
I watch you pour your poison out
Until our connection's done
But rivers have their ways, you see
Of finding paths anew
So I'll let this one run free
And find my peace without you
[Chorus]
Your words flow different now
Like water turned to wine
Your words flow different now
But I'll be just fine
