Churches and Rivers
Healing Churches and Rivers: Love Beyond Wasted Youth
Lyrics
Don't lie to me cause I do it better
Being honest with me isn't necessary because I excel at deception.
I try to heal in the churches and the rivers
I attempt to find solace or healing in places of spirituality (churches) and nature (rivers).
Don't mourn your wasted youth, it hasn't left you yet
Don't grieve over your misspent youth; its influence on you persists.
I want to love til there's nothing left
I desire to love intensely until there's nothing left.
I can't recall who I said but you'd heard it before
I can't remember who I told, but it seems you've heard it from me before.
Like a radio song
Similar to a familiar song on the radio.
There was a flash on phone then the light on your face was gone, gone
A momentary illumination on your face vanished quickly after a notification on your phone.
Don't lie to me cause I do it better
Reiterating the superiority in deception.
I try to heal in the churches and the rivers
A repetition emphasizing seeking solace in spiritual and natural environments.
Don't mourn your wasted youth, it hasn't left you yet
Continuing the advice not to lament wasted youth as its impact remains.
You're in my bones and I can't forget
Your presence or influence remains deeply ingrained within me.
I hear a tinnitus sound as we lie here alone
A persistent ringing in the ears experienced while being together in solitude.
Close to feeling alright
Feeling almost okay or close to contentment.
Just a picture of insincerity but the buzz is strong
A representation of insincerity exists, yet the allure or excitement persists.
Don't lie to me cause I do it better
Reasserting the proficiency in deception.
I try to heal in the churches and the rivers
A restatement of seeking healing in spiritual and natural settings.
Don't mourn your wasted youth, it hasn't left you yet
Reiterating not to mourn the past as its influence remains.
I want to love til there's nothing left
An intense desire to love until there's no more love left to give.
Let it heal
An urging to allow the healing process to take place.
When you're caught between the river and turning of the tide
When faced with a difficult situation, like being between a river and a turning tide, there's no apparent rescue.
There's no life vest underneath your seat that will ever save your life
In challenging circumstances, having qualifications or credentials won't necessarily help when surrounded by friends or connections.
No one cares about credentials when you're surrounded by your friends
Emphasizing that the situation is not yet concluded or resolved.
It ain't over now, It ain't over now
A reaffirmation that the situation persists, it's not yet concluded.
It ain't over yet
Stressing that the situation is still ongoing.
