After The Devil Beats His Wife Lyrics

You wanna swim in the river, I wanna dance in the summer
You've always been the believer, I'm always left to wonder
The water is rushing so fast, I think it will take us underOh, what thought did you recall
That would make you say my name?
Oh, the water is so deep, our friends say don't go
But my mouth betrays me and says hold onAnd now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're takingWe're gonna drown in a river, I cannot swim any farther
My blood is pumping so fast, my heart and limbs underwaterThen I reach and find your hand in mine
And they say you will be saved, but no, I pull and I pull and I pull
But your foot, it's anchored deep
Your face tells me you won't be freeAnd now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking, ohI decided long ago
Never let your loved ones know
Who you really are, who you really are

People want the truth but never want the scarsAnd now I'm here with my best friend dying
And I'm the one that's still lying
And you say it's gonna be okay
Over and over, and over and over, and over and over againRiver wash me clean
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
