"River" lyrics

"River"
(originally by Bishop Briggs)

I'm a river, ooh, I'm a river
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

How do you fall in love?
Harder than a bullet could hit you
How do we fall apart?
Faster than a hairpin trigger

Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

Tales of an endless heart
Cursed is the fool who's willing
I can't change the way we are
One kiss away from killing

Don't you say, don't you say it
Don't say, don't you say it
One breath, it'll just break it
So shut your mouth and run me like a river

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river

Like a river, like a river
Like a river, like a river
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh!
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh!
Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh! (Like a river)

Shut your mouth, baby, stand and deliver
Holy hands, will they make me a sinner?
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
Choke this love 'til the veins start to shiver
One last breath 'til the tears start to wither
Like a river, like a river
Shut your mouth and run me like a river
