Down To The River lyrics

I went down to the river, maybe a little to pray
I know he's not coming, but I still wait
Do you wanna go swimming? Do you wanna just cry?
I say it'll be okay, but that's just two chords and a lie

We go down to the river, mostly to swim
I'm a piece of paper blown in the wind
Are they gonna call Dante ‘cause they wanna get high?
I say it'll be okay, but that's just two chords and a lie

And I think that we all use a lie to get through, sometimes, just so long as we always return to the truth in time

So I went down to the river, maybe a little to pray
I know he's not coming, but I still wait
Do you wanna go swimming? Do you wanna just cry?
I say it'll be okay, but that's just two chords and a lie
