The River

He's lost in his thoughts again Tunnel vision setting in and he's blinded by the absence of the light He went down to the river Dropped to his knees and said If you take me now, I won't put up a fight But the ink on the pages hasn't dried He hesitates as the water begins to rise He said No Caught in the waves, caught in the waves I'm not giving up tonight He would go Rip rip out the page Burn up the ending and rewrite There's misery in this life and I won't let the pain define me Now I know I can't repay, I can't repay you for bringing me back to life His will is wearing thin, in a tunnel caving in He's slowing down without an end in sight He went down to the river Dropped to his knees and said Would you wash away the ghost of me tonight But the ink on the pages hasn't dried He hesitates as the water begins to rise He said No Caught in the waves, caught in the waves I'm not giving up tonight He would go Rip rip out the page Burn up the ending and rewrite There's misery in this life and I won't let the pain define me Now I know I can't repay I can't repay you for bringing me back to life You're bringing me back But the ink on the pages hasn't dried He hesitates as the water begins to rise He said No Caught in the waves, caught in the waves I'm not giving up tonight He would go rip rip out the page Burn up the ending and rewrite There's misery in this life and I won't let the pain define me Now I know I can't repay I can't repay you for bringing me back to life There's misery in this life and I won't let the pain define me Now I know I can't repay I can't repay you for bringing me back to life
