Emery - After the Devil Beats His Wife lyrics

rate me

You wanna swim in the river

I wanna dance in the summer

You've always been the believer

I'm always left to wonder

The water is rushing so fast

I think it will take us under

Oh, what thought did you recall

That would make you say my name?

The water is so deep

A friend says "Don't go"

But my mouth betrays me

And says "Hold on"

And now I know

This is the pain of believing

(The danger is real)

And there's no easy way out

(How did I get here?)

You trust too much in my bravery

It's my safety you're taking

We're gonna drown in the river

I cannot swim any farther

My blood is pumping so fast

My heart and limbs underwater

And I reach and find your hand in mine

And they say you will be saved, but no

I pull and I pull and I pull

But your foot, it's anchored deep

Your face tells me you won't be free

I decided long ago

Never let your loved ones know

Who you really are, who you really are

People want the truth but never want the scars

And now I'm here

My best friend died

And I'm the one that's still alive

And you say it's gonna be okay

Over and over and over and over and over and over again...
