I said I thought it would be colder You put your head upon my shoulder Ain't it funny how time just seems to run
What the hell have you been doing Not too sure guess just mostly moving I've been spinning for so long and now I guess I'm spun
Like the widest river, like the brightest morn There hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm But won't you help me to get thru it, I've been flailing like a child My mistakes they are so many, for my loving heart is wild
Not quite old Far from young Body bold with a youthful tongue
Like a kiss held out of context I can't separate my mind We can set this boat on fire, we can leave it all behind
Like the widest river, like the brightest morn There's hope just up ahead, there's a shelter safe and warm But won't you help me to get to it, I've been selfish I have lied My mistakes they are so many, for my ruthless heart is wild
Like the winds that sheer the plains and cut you down to size None but the dust and seeds remain, they root themselves and rise
Like the widest river, like the brightest morn There is hope where you can't see it, there's a light after the storm Won't you help me to get through it, I've been flailing like a child My mistakes they are so many, for my weary heart is wild
