by the river Lyrics

By the river I've been dreaming

Of a road I could follow

And a light that shines between us

Over everywhere we'd go

And we'd find it hard to care

About the things that make us low

Like the friends that pass along the way

That someday you won't know

But it's not really over love

There's something more

You need to try to find a way

And even if I cant cut

This thought of you inside my brain

It's free to stay

And I'd never been more grateful

For that girl I could call home

Who could take me by the hand

And lead me straight to the unknown

And I'd find it hard to picture

What it's like to be alone

Or reaching out to touch the mirror

Just to find how much we've grown

And now I'm here without your love

And it's not hard for me

To find another way

And even if I can't cut

This thought of you inside my brain

Is free to stay
