River Like You - Maya Hawke

I've loved a river like you before

I'm the one to blame

He washed away my cleverness

And hallowed out my name

I've loved a river like you before

The deep and thundering kind

He rushed into my belly and

Clouded over my eyes

If you wanted to be happy

Which I somehow doubt

I could swallow your river

If you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before

You can't scare me away

I've tamed the moss up on the rocks

And molded the red clay

If you wanted to be happy

Which would be a surprise

I could swallow your sorrow

If you opened your eyes

I've loved a river like you before

I'm a river too

So you can run into me

And I'll run into you

If you wanted to be happy

Which I somehow doubt

I could swallow your river

If you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before

If only I were wise

I never learned to turn and run

When I saw the water rise
