Lyrics

Survive The Mississippi
(c) Marialaina DiFalco

Verse
The clouds are smothering the moon behind the trees
a shiver`s crashing through my spine
an undertow is grabbing, pullin' out to sea
threatenin' to rip you from my side
There were signs we both pretended not to read
leaving love hanging on helplessly

Chorus
There's a cold angry river and the water's getting high
we`re just a few breaths from drowning in our unforgiving pride
trust got tossed in the rapids crushing all our hopes and dreams
The both of us is what we need to Survive the Mississippi

Verse
The winds are hammering the truth on its breeze
How could I be so unkind?
Instead of listening, I destroyed the bridge to all I've ever dreamed
with hateful words and hurtful lies
Somewhere buried 'neath this mighty river's rage
lies the hope we'll find our way to love again

Chorus
There's a cold angry river and the water's getting high
we`re just a few breaths from drowning in our unforgiving pride
trust got tossed in the rapids crushing all our hopes and dreams
The both of us is what we need to Survive the Mississippi

Bridge
More than ever in my life, now I need you by my side
'cause, I know together's the only way we'll breathe love back to life

Chorus
There's a cold angry river and the water's getting high
we`re just a few breaths from drowning in our unforgiving pride
trust got tossed in the rapids crushing all our hopes and dreams
The both of us is what we need to Survive the Mississippi
