River Lyrics by Meltdown

It’s A Long Road

2022

I just want to get away
Leave this trouble behind
I can't find the will to run
Seems my hands are tied

In my sleep, I call your name
You're my deepest desire
And I be holdin' to a flame
But my skin is on fire

I lie by the river
So cold and blue
My tears in the river
Can't let go of you

'Cause I don't wanna stay
And I can't let go
I know it's time
As I stare into the floor
Let me go

And I dive into the river
Tryin' to put out the fire
And I'm so sick and tired
Tryin' to walk the [???]

And I know I can't take
This heat it burns my pains
Don't know if I'll make it
But I don't wanna be sane

[Instrumental bit]

And I'm floating in a river
Seeing life before my eyes
Down in the river
Sayin' my goodbye

And I know I can't take
This heat it burns my pains
Don't know if I'll make it, babe
Don't wanna be saaane

Let me go now
Heeeey, heeeeeyyy...
