"River" lyrics

Would we get excited 'bout a first kiss if there wasn't a last one?
Would we know a good day if we never got through a bad one?
Would we relish and miss the sand slipping through the hourglass?
Would we even bother looking back?
Would we know what flying felt like if we didn't crash some?

Oh
Would it mean anything to hold you
If I didn't have to let you go?

Maybe that's why the sun sets
Maybe that's why a star fades
Maybe that's why the song ends
Maybe that's why a heart breaks
Maybe nothing would matter
If we all lived forever
Maybe that's why there's a waterfall
At the end of the river

The fact we get to be alive at the same point in history
It feels like a miracle every single time that our lips meet
Waking up tomorrow, we know, will never be a guarantee
So, baby, while you're here with me
Let's stay up all night talking while the world's asleep

Oh
Would it mean anything to hold you
If I didn't have to let you go?

Maybe that's why the sun sets
Maybe that's why a star fades
Maybe that's why the song ends
Maybe that's why a heart breaks
Maybe nothing would matter
If we all lived forever
Maybe that's why there's a waterfall
At the end of the river

Maybe that's why there's a waterfall
At the end of the river
Maybe that's why there's a waterfall
At the end of the river
