Lyrics
By the river I've been dreaming
Reflecting on dreams by the river, contemplating possibilities.
Of a road I could follow
Desiring a path to follow, seeking direction in life.
And a light that shines between us
Longing for a connection represented by a shining light.
Over everywhere we'd go
Imagining a journey together with the light illuminating the path.
And we'd find it hard to care
Struggling to care about troubles that bring one down.
About the things that make us low
Overcoming challenges that affect emotional well-being.
Like the friends that pass along the way
Encountering passing friends on the journey.
That someday you won't know
Acknowledging that relationships may fade with time.
But it's not really over love
Asserting that love persists beyond apparent endings.
There's something more
Believing in the existence of something beyond what is known.
You need to try to find a way
Encouraging efforts to discover a new path in love.
And even if I can't cut
Expressing difficulty in erasing thoughts of a loved one.
This thought of you inside my brain
Acknowledging persistent thoughts and emotions.
It's free to stay
Accepting the freedom of these thoughts to linger.
And I'd never been more grateful
Expressing deep gratitude for a significant other.
For that girl I could call home
Describing a beloved person as a home.
Who could take me by the hand
Emphasizing the guidance provided by the person.
And lead me straight to the unknown
Being led towards the unknown by the significant other.
And I'd find it hard to picture
Struggling to imagine life without the significant other.
What it's like to be alone
Feeling discomfort at the thought of being alone.
Or reaching out to touch the mirror
Reaching out for connection, symbolized by touching a mirror.
Just to find how much we've grown
Reflecting on personal growth through shared experiences.
And now I'm here without your love
Experiencing life without the love of the significant other.
And it's not hard for me
Finding it relatively easy to continue without the love.
To find another way
Discovering alternative paths in the absence of love.
And even if I can't cut
Acknowledging difficulty in letting go of thoughts about the loved one.
This thought of you inside my brain
Reiterating the persistence of thoughts about the significant other.
Is free to stay
Affirming the freedom of these persistent thoughts.
