[Verse 1] I traced your name in the sand Then the tide stole my hand Mud on my shoes, salt on my skin I let the deep pull me in [Pre-Chorus] River run, take me low I been fighting, now I know Every scar learns how to flow Back to the sea, back to the glow [Chorus] Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave I keep coming back to thee Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave Don’t let me break, let me breathe [Verse 2] City rain on a windowpane Still I hear that wild refrain Creekbed bones and a silver moon Calling me home too soon [Pre-Chorus] River run, take me low I been fighting, now I know Every scar learns how to flow Back to the sea, back to the glow [Chorus] Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave I keep coming back to thee Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave Don’t let me break, let me breathe [Bridge] [Half-time] I was dry, I was split Cracked earth, split-lip kid Then you came like a flood Warm cold hands in the mud [Chorus] Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave I keep coming back to thee Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free I’m a wave, I’m a wave Don’t let me break, let me breathe [Outro] Take me down Take me deep Where the blue Knows my name Oh, river, carry me Oh, ocean, set me free
