River Songtext
von Half Hearted Hero

I hope you find this and tear it up
It won′t make a difference
It seems my insight is never enough
To get over the fence
Of your broken words
And the edges hurt
And turn on my insides
And turn my back on your bed of lies

How did you get this way?
The dam is breaking by the minute
The war is over but we separate
If I were confident in reason
I would know my place


You say you know what it takes to return
To shore on rogue waves, but have you learned
That a compass cracked can't lead you back
And Earth holds no straight lines
Gravity bends at all sides
And the edges fold
And hold us by the heartstrings
One day you′ll see that we hold on to hate we bring

The dam is breaking by the minute
The war is over but we separate
If I were confident in reason
I would know my place

The nearer side of the words
Are further than the backyard
I should have come here alone
But I know you, too
A vacancy in the cold
Occupies every reason
You never seem to be free
Do I know you?


I want to tell it like it is
But I need you to help me build this bridge
Before the water rises to our eyes
Before the river's sweeping us aside
If I were younger I would turn the tide
Oh, where's the time gone now?
You were holding out and now you′re holding on
To the rolling doubts that crushed you for so long

Let go the past, it′s nothing but an empty glass
It only holds you back and you never wanted that
The future's waiting in the field just down the path
