Lyrics
The look in your eyes, the look on your face,
Tells a story all its own.
This situation, this fall from grace,
It?s like I?m already gone.
And I know, I know, that something ain?t right.
If these words could heal, could carry this night.
That no matter how far that this line will run,
To know inside if I?m the one.
And the river it rises, straight through me.
Carries this heart far from harm.
And the faith of these waters will bring me home.
Straight back to your open arms.
You?ve checked the board now, a dozen times.
Hoping that that plane will never land.
But this is something I have to face.
I pray that you will understand.
And though the road is long, and the miles without count.
Something will change, to turn this inside out.
The words we choose, and all the things we do.
When all that?s left is me and you.
And the river it rises, straight through me.
Carries this heart far from harm.
And the faith of these waters will bring me home.
Straight back to your open arms.
Carry this motion, carry this weight.
Carry all that we?ve become.
This emotion, straining at the gate,
To know inside somewhere, if I?m the one.
And I know, I know, that something ain?t right.
But all that?s left is me and you.
