River lyrics by Miley Cyrus
(Verse 1)1
I bought a new dress just to meet you downtown
Can you walk me through the park just to show it?
I can tie my hair any way you want
If you wrap me in your arms and don’t stop
(Pre-chorus)
The heart beats so hard that it chokes me
Living in an April rain
You make it rain on the seas, baby, drown me (uuh, uuh, uuh)
(Coro)
You’re just like a river (uuh, uuh, uuh)
You’re just like a river (uuh, uuh, uuh)
you sink forever
you are like a river
(Verse 2)
Blowing bubbles in the tub, lately I can’t stop thinking
You could be the one, have the honor of my babies
I hope they have your eyes and that smirk
I was a desert before I met you, I was in the drought
(Pre-chorus)
The heart beats so hard that it chokes me
Living in an April rain
You make it rain on the seas, baby, drown me (uuh, uuh, uuh)
(Coro)
You’re just like a river (uuh, uuh, uuh)
You’re just like a river (uuh, uuh, uuh)
you sink forever
you are like a river
(post chorus)
You’re never dry (oh)
(Bridge)
I feel you everywhere
Your face is all over my hair (hair)
covered in your sweat
It turns me on that you care, baby
Your love, it flows like a river
(Coro)
You’re just like a river (that’s what you are)
You’re just like a river (that’s what you are)
you are like a river
you are like a river
You’re just like a river (my heart is beating so hard it’s drowning me)
You’re just like a river (Living in an April rain
You sink forever (you make it rain in the seas, baby, drown me)
you are like a river
