Like a walking host without any thought
I've been dragging ghosts from for way too long
Oooh
Oooh
Gettin' heavier
But the body learns
Wearing all the dirt that they held on me
Mix it with the hurt no one ever sees
Oooh
Oooh
So I push it down
Til the feeling drowns
Didn't know that I was worn out
These old habits stuck to me
When I saw you at the river
Something had to change
Take me to the levee, gonna wash my soul
I'm tired of carrying round my ghosts
I've been bringing in mud and bad blood
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Take me to the levee, gonna rinse my bones
I'm jaded from these sticks and stones
Baby, open a flood and cover me up
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
I can't change the facts or my history
They won't let the past get away from me
Oooh
Oooh
Let me move along
Like the river runs
You let me drop my weakness at your banks
The parts inside me missing I filled with a pretty face
Then they move along
Like the river runs, runs yeah
Take me to the levee, gonna wash my soul
I'm tired of carrying round my ghosts
I've been bringing in mud and bad blood
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Take me to the levee, gonna rinse my bones
I'm jaded from these sticks and stones
Baby, open a flood and cover me up
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the water
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Didn't know that I was worn out
These old habits feels innate
Til I saw you at the river
And I had to change
Take me to the levee, gonna wash my soul
I'm tired of carrying round my ghosts
I've been bringing in mud and bad blood
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Take me to the levee, gonna rinse my bones
I'm jaded from these sticks and stones
Baby, open a flood and cover me up
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the water
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the water
Yeah, yeah, lay me in the river
Take me where the river runs
River runs, runs yeah
