The River Lyrics by Spring Offensive

Young Animal Hearts

2014

You asked me a very simple question
And I gave you the answer that I thought you deserved

If you want to find your lover
I suggest you slide into the river
Like the rat that you are

You left me with very little choice
And I, well I chose the silence
And this unending noise

If you want to find your lover
I suggest you slide into the river
Like the rat that you are (2x)

And I don't remember
The river ever flowing so fast
It has dragged me under
Let’s see just how long this breath lasts

If you want to find your lover
I suggest you slide into the river
Like the rat that you are (2x)

The water rose around my knees
As the water rose around my knees I found myself
As the water rose around my knees I found myself smiling
As the water rose around my knees I found myself smiling
As the water rose around my knees I found myself smiling
