Rivers in our veins (wersja 2)

Verse

Four in the morning on your kitchen floor

You're still talking to the clock like you've got nothing more

I'm curled up by the radiator, watching steam roll out

You say we're done, that there's no road back now

But I keep hearing what you didn't say aloud

Pre-Chorus

Do you know what happens when you finally go silent?

Is it a storm or is it peace?

Tell me what your heart decides tonight

Before the dawn breaks through these blinds

Chorus

Rivers in our veins, running backwards still

Every word you left behind is swimming up to my chest

We said goodbye an hour ago but I'm just now feeling free

I guess some wounds can turn around and go back home again with me

Rivers in our veins, turning all the colors gold

Nothing dead stays dead when it's written in your bones

Verse

You left a cup of coffee by the window sill

The cream had curdled but the ring stayed still

I'm sipping on a cup that's full of every lie you ever told

Your feet were leaving before your voice was done

But I kept hearing what you said and what you didn't say, undone

Pre-Chorus

Do you know what happens when you finally go silent?

Is it a storm or is it peace?

Tell me what your heart decides tonight

Before the dawn breaks through these blinds

Chorus

Rivers in our veins, running backwards still

Every word you left behind is swimming up to my chest

We said goodbye an hour ago but I'm just now feeling free

I guess some wounds can turn around and go back home again with me

Rivers in our veins, turning all the colors gold

Nothing dead stays dead when it's written in your bones

Bridge

I'll carry this weight for you even though you don't ask me to

I'll learn how to be brave enough not to hate what you did

Maybe someday I'll stop hearing what you said every night

But until then, I'm swimming upstream with all of it tonight

So say goodbye again like a promise and not like goodbye at all

Chorus

Rivers in our veins, running backwards still

Every word you left behind is swimming up to my chest

We said goodbye an hour ago but I'm just now feeling free

I guess some wounds can turn around and go back home again with me

Rivers in our veins, turning all the colors gold

Nothing dead stays dead when it's written in your bones

Outro

Every word you left behind is swimming up to my chest

I'll be carrying this for a little longer yet
