we parked by the reservoir
a little drunk comparing scars
and the volume of a river’s love
broke the barrier into the car
it pushes through
hear it off the service road
getting louder deeper we go
on the heavy hanging creosote
now through the trees, sucking smoke
it pushes through
pulling me in
pulling me closer to you
I’ve been fighting it
like a liar flailing at the truth
shaking like the witness stand
you said “take your shame and rip it up”
I wasn’t ready for your hand
startled by a river’s love
it pushes through
search the shore for wood and clay
dam it, block it, try to tame
you were laughing as I tried in vain
a river’s love will find a way
it pushes through
pulling me
pulling me closer to you
I’ve been fighting it
…
hold on
hold on
hold on
it pushes through
fumbling and falling down
overwhelmed around above
can’t you see I’m gonna drown
drowning in a river’s love
it pushes through
pulling me in
pulling me closer to you
I’ve been fighting it
like a martyr waving off a rescue
pulling me in
pulling me closer to you
I’ve been fighting it
…
