The River

Not all that glitters is gold I'm tired of fitting the mold Was it for real or for show? I got my back to the ropes It's been weighing on me But I'm right here where I should be Can't keep staring at the sun Desperate days are ending But I just can't shake the feeling Things seemed better off before I've been awake too long Chasing the river And now it's gone Just what I counted on I've been afraid too long Can't pull the trigger No right or wrong I'm right where I belong (oh) All I can see is your ghost Right when I needed it most Burned bridges turn into roads I'm getting closer to home It's been weighing on me But I'm right here where I should be Can't keep staring at the sun Desperate days are ending But I just can't shake the feeling Things seemed better off before I've been awake too long Chasing the river And now it's gone Just what I counted on I've been afraid too long Can't pull the trigger No right or wrong I'm right where I belong Somebody take me home Sometimes you're down and out I'm trying to drown it out Somebody take me home Sometimes you're down and out I'm trying to drown it out Not all that glitters is gold So what are you fighting for? Why can't you let it go? Why can't you let it go? I've been awake too long Chasing the river And now it's gone Just what I counted on I've been afraid too long Can't pull the trigger No right or wrong I'm right where I belong Somebody take me home Sometimes you're down and out I'm trying to drown it out Somebody take me home Sometimes you're down and out I'm trying to drown it out
