River Lyrics by Joe Barbarulo

Sunset

2019

[Verse]
Too young and stuck in this town
Tired and fading
It’s like I’m letting you down
Why do I keep on waiting

I’m trying so hard to keep on moving
But I guess there’s nothing that I should be proving

I keep writing stupid songs
As a way to speak my mind
Just forget it, you’d be better leaving
Me behind

I want to see you smiling with no end
But instead
I feel like a small dividend

[Chorus]
Maybe the silence wouldn’t be so bad
All I seem to do is keep making others sad
And I’m sorry for my troubles
And maybe I should go
Cause I don’t wanna wake up tomorrow

[Verse]
I feel arrested to my heart, so stubborn
All my memories still kept in the cupboard
Am I still so selfish with these words
No matter how hard I try, I feel hurt

I still remember that first day
So starstruck, I couldn’t find words to say
Cause you were everything, and anything felt possible with you
And everything and anything no longer feels true

[Chorus]
Maybe the silence wouldn’t be so bad
All I seem to do is keep making others sad
And I’m sorry for my troubles
And maybe I should go
Cause I don’t wanna wake up tomorrow
