Lyrics
I've said that I know better
Believe me, I do
I'm sick of knowing better
I think I wanna know you
I think I wanna know you
Can white water run deep
I wonder with a judgment
As I watch another friend
Get swept off her feet by sensation
The warning sign by the river
I know it as my companion
I cling to the chain link
As I feel the heat waves roll in
And I make friends tell their stories
Like they're war heroes coming home
As I try and taste the feeling
Through secondhand smoke
'Cause they're riding high on something
And I wanna know
What's it like to go
Down by the river
What's it like to feel
The rush of nature on my skin
It's a place where
Promises are made and broken
So tell me why
I wanna dive in
Well I don't know if ignorance is bliss
Right now wisdom feels like agony
Am I missing my chance
To be young and wild by being free
My sexual liberation doesn't look
The same as the magazines
Sometimes when I ask myself
I'm not sure why I am still waiting
What's it like to go
Down by the river
What's it like to feel
The rush of nature on my skin
Will I be cleansed for a moment by the water
Can I ride love's waves before reality comes crashing in
I'm standing on the river side
Thinking let me get swept by a high tide
So I can say it's something I can't control
When I know full well how a river flows
Let me dip a toe, let me dip a foot
It's a dangerous game but it feels so good to feel
Will it feel even better
Even better
Even better
What's it like to go
Down by the river
What's it like to feel
The rush of nature on my skin
Is it worth the promise that will leave me broken
Is it worth being left cold, alone and naked
I've said that I know better
Believe me I do
I'm so sick of knowing better
I wanna know you
