Rivers We Don't Know (버전 2)

Verse

Radio static fading into Sunday morning light

Six a.m. on the highway, my tires still humming with night

Gas station neon bleeding gold across the wet asphalt

Engine cooling down while the sky starts to lift off at last

Every mile marker flashing past like it never existed

Sweat and smoke still clinging to my jacket like a vestigial habit

Road unwinds ahead of me like a thread someone's pulling tight

Nothing left but sun and silence, and this endless highway light

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the static start to clear

Something opening up out here

Every wall I built is starting to dissolve

Into this wide open promise and drive

Chorus

We're running rivers we don't know

Through amber towns that nobody's home

Hands on wheel, heart in my throat

We were born for this — let it go!

Rivers of light down every road

Burning up the miles like they owe us gold

Turn the radio back up — we're not done yet

Rivers we don't know, rivers we forget

Verse

Towns asleep behind a veil of cotton candy haze

Every stoplight turning green like it's giving me permission to stay

Somebody's leaving notes on tailgates in the rain

Just enough to keep me chasing what I couldn't catch again

The engine hums softer now but my pulse is still alive

I've been driving through the dark for a reason, I survived

Every mile that brought me this far has been leading to this blue

Sky wide open, no map left, just me and the wind on the run with you

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the static start to clear

Something opening up out here

Every wall I built is starting to dissolve

Into this wide open promise and drive

Chorus

We're running rivers we don't know

Through amber towns that nobody's home

Hands on wheel, heart in my throat

We were born for this — let it go!

Rivers of light down every road

Burning up the miles like they owe us gold

Turn the radio back up — we're not done yet

Rivers we don't know, rivers we forget

Bridge

I'm breaking free from everything I've ever known

Every border, every name, every weight that's holding me down

This is the fire the prophets sang about at dawn

This is the only anthem I was born to write — just drive and let it burn

Chorus

We're running rivers we don't know

Through amber towns that nobody's home

Hands on wheel, heart in my throat

We were born for this — let it go!

Rivers of light down every road

Burning up the miles like they owe us gold

Turn the radio back up — we're not done yet

Rivers we don't know, rivers we forget
