"The River" lyrics

Why not just go now?
Oh, you never wanted to stay
I've waited here for a while now
But you never came my way
The flowers love to look at you
And I wish you'd say the same about me
How could you feel nothing
When the water's cold and deep?

Oh, welcome to the river
No sense in wasting your precious time
And oh, you'll think it's getting clearer
But she'll break your breath here
She'll take your mind

Did you ever notice?
'Cause I never read the signs
The frame was out of focus
When our fingers intertwined

Oh welcome to the river
No sense in wasting your precious time
And oh, you'll think it's getting clearer
But she'll break you breath here
She'll take your mind

Someday when we're older
All those things that you screamed you'd find
I would've given the whole world
But it wasn't mine
And you aren't mine

Oh, welcome to the river
No sense in wasting your precious time
And oh, you'll think it's getting clearer
But she'll break your breath here
She'll take your mind
