River Weight

Verse 1

Silver ring in the soap dish

Left it right by the kitchen sink

Hard to admit what I know

That we are really on the brink

Tossed your flannel on the floral chair

And watched the sun go sinking down

Shadows stretching across the hall

Like ghosts inside this house of ours

Pre-Chorus

Trying to fix it

Trying to stay

Knowing you're already

Gone far away

Chorus

Give it back to the river

Let the water take the weight of it all

Let the wild grass grow

Through the cracks in our kitchen wall

Washed out and faded away

Nothing left for us here to save

So give it back to the river

Honey just let it go

Verse 2

Dusty boots by the screen door

Haven't walked across this porch in weeks

Static on the old wood radio

While a tear rolls down my cheek

Everything I ever wanted from you

Wasn't more than just a lie

Hung up the heavy porch swing

To watch the seasons passing by

Pre-Chorus

Trying to fix it

Trying to stay

Knowing you're already

Gone far away

Chorus

Give it back to the river

Let the water take the weight of it all

Let the wild grass grow

Through the cracks in our kitchen wall

Washed out and faded away

Nothing left for us here to save

So give it back to the river

Honey just let it go

Bridge

Maybe it was meant to drown

Sinking like a lucky dime

Turn the whole world upside down

Wait for the morning time

Chorus

Give it back to the river

Let the water take the weight of it all

Let the wild grass grow

Through the cracks in our kitchen wall

Washed out and faded away

Nothing left for us here to save

So give it back to the river

Honey just let it go
