Take me back to the river
For I left something dear
Take me back to the river
For I left my heart there
And I've been going through the motions
Doing all I'm supposed to
All they said to do
And I've been watching the time
Wondering when I'll feel alive again
It's been a year or two
Fear will do that to you
Fear will do that to you
Next thing you know, lies sound like the truth
They sound like the truth
I've been trying to feel myself again
By pleasing all my friends
And look where I am
I've got nothing to give, nothing to give
I've got nothing to give, nothing to give
I've got nothing to give, nothing to give
I've got nothing to give, but do you still want me?
Take me back to the river
For I left something dear
Take me back to the river
For I left my heart there
