River Lyrics by Tom Gregory

Things I Can’t Say Out Loud

2021

[Chorus]
Cut me deep, I can't get no sleep
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet

[Verse 1]
Goddamn, you woke up the ghost in me
And now I need a minute to breathe
'Cause I'm losing my self control (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
That's right, I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
That don't mean that I want it to bleed
But I'm walkin' down your road (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh me, oh my
I've been thinkin' that I'm alright
Now I'm realizin' I'm blind
And I need to open my eyes
Oh me, oh my
I've been swimmin' against the tide
Oh, I have (Oh, I have)
And now I feel it

[Chorus]
Cut me deep, I can't get no sleep
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
And you still cut me deep
And I'm on my knees
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
You still cut me deep, I can't get no sleep
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
You still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]
Goddamn, woke up in a revery
Your love's taken ahold on me
As the silence comes and goes (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Was it something that I said
That you let get inside your head?
That made you want me
Then made you cold? (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh me, oh my
I've been thinkin' that I'm alright
Now I'm realizin' I'm blind
And I need to open my eyes
Oh me, oh my
I've been swimmin' against the tide
Oh, I have (Oh, I have)
And now I feel it
(How can I cry when the river runs dry?)

[Chorus]
You still cut me deep, I can't get no sleep
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
You still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet

[Bridge]
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
Can you feel it rollin' by the river?
Can you feel it? (Uh-ooh), can you feel it? (Uh-ooh)
Can you feel it rollin' by the river?

[Chorus]
You still cut me deep, I can't get no sleep
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet (Get back on my feet)
You still cut me deep
'Cause I'm on my knees (On my knees)
And I'm rollin' by the river
Tryna get back on my feet
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh)
