River lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've seen a lighthouse in the night
I got caught in a tidal wave
I was struggling through the foam
Gotta find my way back home

I see ghosts in the mirror
I got lost in the water
I got sick of the moving coasts
Gotta drop the anchor below
Drop the anchor below

[Chorus 1]
We gotta swim up against the stream
Standing blind in a blurry dream
We throw the past in the river
'Cause we won't last for long
With a backpack full of stones

[Verse 2]
Ain't the mermaids nor illusions
It takes a while when you're moving slow
When the burden weighs you down
Gotta drop the anchor below

[Chorus 2]
We gotta swim up against the stream
Standing blind in a blurry dream
We throw the past in the river
'Cause we won't last for long
With a backpack full of stones
We gotta swim up against the stream
Standing blind in a blurry dream
We throw the past in the river
'Cause we won't last for long
With a backpack full of stones

[Bridge]
The ri- the river
The river
The ri- the river
The river
River
The ri- the river
The river
River
The ri- the river
In the river oh

[Chorus 3]
We gotta swim up against the stream
Standing blind in a blurry dream
We throw the past in the river
'Cause we won't last for long
With a backpack full of stones

We gotta swim up against the stream
Standing blind in a blurry dream
We throw the past in the river
'Cause we won't last for long
With a backpack full of stones
