A River Away Lyrics by Julian Velard

If You Don’t Like It, You Can Leave

2012

[Verse 1]
Streets are full
Of people living life like us
Waiting on a dream to come
And take them away
A dream’s not a bus
[Verse 2]
Take a look inside yourself
Take the journey by yourself
The Brooklyn Bridge is just a bridge
It’s nothing but stone
It won’t bring you home
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m standing on the other side
I need you to make it tonight
[Chorus]
When you're falling in love
You can’t be afraid
Come over, I’m only a river away
When the heart is on fire
Stop chasing the rain
Go ahead, baby, jump in the water
I’m only a river
[Verse 2]
Away with doubt
We know what that’s all about
Spending nights alone
With thoughts of what could have been
We all have to swim
[Pre-Chorus]
To make it to the other side
You have to leave the fear behind
[Chorus]
When you're falling in love
You can’t be afraid
Come over, I’m only a river away
When the heart is on fire
Stop chasing the rain
Go ahead, baby, jump in the water
I’m only a river
[Bridge]
Away from you
The storm is inside you
Let my eyes be your guide
The light will pull you through
The river's dark and deep
But heavy secrets will keep you from seeing the truth
[Chorus]
When you're falling in love
You can’t be afraid
Come over, I’m only a river away
When the heart is on fire
Stop chasing the rain
Go ahead, baby, jump in the water
I’m only a river away
[Outro]
Only a river away
Only a river away
Yeah, yeah
