Atlas & The Light - Midnight River

Intro

Verse 1

We were sparks on a station platform

Talking like we'd never leave

Maps folded in our back pockets

Nothing but time to believe

The city glowed like a promise

Every road had our name

Now the lights look a little different

But they're beautiful all the same

Pre-Chorus

I don't miss who I used to be

I just carry him with me

Chorus

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Through every broken bridge behind it

Through every setting sun

And I don't need to chase forever

Or outrun who I've become

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Verse 2

Some dreams turned into photographs

Some became the life I found

Some disappeared without warning

Like rain sinking into the ground

And all the miles that I walked through

All the things I couldn't save

They don't feel like losses anymore

They're the currents that I made

Pre-Chorus

Every scar became a line

In the story of this life

Chorus

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Through every broken bridge behind it

Through every setting sun

And I don't need to chase forever

Or outrun who I've become

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Break

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Carry me downstream

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Into everything I mean

Bridge

I spent years looking backward

Searching for a younger face

But the road was never ending

It was teaching me my place

Now the midnight water's calling

And I finally understand

Growing older isn't losing

It's learning where to stand

Chorus

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Through every broken bridge behind it

Through every setting sun

And I don't need to chase forever

Or outrun who I've become

The river never asks forgiveness

It just keeps moving on

Outro

Midnight river, take me home

Midnight river, carry on

Midnight river, take me home

Just keep moving on
