River Stones

Verse 1

April taught me how to swim

June wrote poems on my skin

One wanted war and I wanted home

One wanted everything I'd grown

Pre-Chorus

And I keep their names like river stones

Smooth and cold inside my coat

Chorus

Failed lovers left their marks on me

Scars like constellations

Failed lovers drift like autumn leaves

I'm still here through every season

Verse 2

One spoke in riddles made of fire

One could never climb much higher

One gave me a ring of braided grass

One taught me that goodbye won't last

Pre-Chorus

And I carry them like borrowed tunes

Humming softly under moons

Chorus

Failed lovers left their marks on me

Scars like constellations

Failed lovers drift like autumn leaves

I'm still here through every season

Bridge

Maybe I was half the wreck

Maybe they were, so what the heck

Every ending taught me how

To stand taller standing now

Chorus

Failed lovers left their marks on me

Scars like constellations

Failed lovers drift like autumn leaves

I'm still here through every season

Hook

Still here

Still singing

Still here

Still me
