Lyrics
THE RIVER RUNS TOO DEEP
(Claire Ulanoff/Will Hopkins)
On the silent edge of morning
I?m half awake and half asleep
Out of breath my heart is racing
Something?s chasing after me
I stumble through a forest, the sound of footsteps drawing near
Hounded by my own fears...
And then I?m standing on the bank of a river
Gotta get to the other side
So I jump down into the water
?Cause it doesn?t seem to be that wide
Every time I think I?ve made it, within reach of solid ground
I can feel my feet slipping as the current pulls me down
And I?m struggling to get free
But the river runs too deep
That?s the dream I keep on having
That?s the story of my life
Heaven knows I keep on trying
But I can?t seem to get it right
The ghosts of my mistakes keep racing through my mind
I can?t leave them behind...it?s like
(chorus)
Maybe someday I?ll forgive myself
Face the past, make amends
But until then...I?ll still be
(chorus)
