Maya Hawke - River Like You

I've loved a river like you before
I'm the one to blame
He washed away my cleverness
And hallowed out my name

I've loved a river like you before
The deep and thundering kind
He rushed into my belly and
Clouded or' my eyes

If you wanted to be happy
Which I somehow doubt
I would swallow your river
If you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before
You can't scare me away
I've tamed the moss upon the rocks
And molded the red clay

If you wanted to be happy
which would be a surprise
I could swallow your sorrow
if you opened your eyes

I've loved a river like you before
I'm a river too
You can run into me
I'll run into you

If you wanted to be happy
Which I somehow doubt
I would swallow your river
If you opened your mouth

I've loved a river like you before
If only I were wise
I never learned to turn and run
When I saw the water rise
