Chan the Human - The River Lyrics

Let's go back
Back to the river and
See what's changed

Remember when
We sat by the river and
Spent our days

You and me
Down by the river when
We felt no pain

Now here we stand
Back by the river and
It's still the same

Let it go
Let it fly
Let it sing
Let it live
And let it die

These silhouettes
Imperfect skies
A painted world
High above
Made of lies

And if I'm gone
And have no words
I'd think of you
Places seen
And voices heard

Cuz' you're still here
By my side
The river flows
To paths unseen
Let's take a dive

Cuz' now I'm home
Despite it all
I know
That I am home
The river flows
Oh, the river flows

Time moves on
And memories, they wilt away
But that's okay

Just like a rose
In passing, more beauty grows
In its place

So live for now
The grayness will always feed
A hollow soul

And hold me close
The water will set us free
And make us whole

Cuz' now we're home
Despite it all
I know
That we are home
The river flows
Oh, the river flows

We're not who we were yesterday
But in this moment here with you I finally see
That even when dark clouds block out everything
The person waiting in the water is still me
I'm still me

I'll always go back, I'll always, go-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa
I'll always go back, to you
I'll always go back, I'll always, go-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa
I'll always go back, to you

I'll always go back, I'll always, go-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa
I'll always go back, to you
I'll always go back, I'll always, go-oh-oh-oh-ho-whoa
I'll always go back, to you

Let's go back
Back to the river and
See what's changed

I see it now
A life lead by what could have been
Fades away

And no matter where I've been
And no matter where I'll be
I will always go back

And no matter who I've been
And no matter who I'll be
I will always go back

And if you're lost
Just go to the river and
Call my name

Then I'll be there
Back to the river where
Things don't change
