Lyrics
V1
Stepping off the banks
Into your deeper waters
I trust the ground beneath me
Until I can touch no longer
Pre
Further from the shore
Wash the fire away
You gave me a home
When you became my name
Chorus
There’s a river running through my head
Pulling me under with the things you said
And my lungs are bursting at the seams
Replacing the air used to breathe
As the river washes over me
V2
Taking in the distance
I feel the current beckoning
I hear the water whisper
Like the summer calls to me
Pre
Further from the shore
Wash the fire away
You gave me a home
When you became my name
Chorus
There’s a river running through my head
And I’m tangled in your brilliant depth
And my lungs are bursting at the seams
Replacing the air used to breathe
As the river washes over me
Bridge
I need you to cleanse my sins
In your sacred holy temple
Drowning in your abyss
