The River

I'm alone in a corner of a one-room apartment

Dirty windows let the light in through my fingers

And make patterns on the carpet

Heavy footsteps on the ceiling

And the sirens in the distance

Drown the sound of playing children

I'm alone here in a crowd of seven million

I know there's more to life than this

'Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river

So I follow the river

And I'm gonna catch the wind

'Cause I'm dying to begin

So I follow the, the river (follow the river, follow the river)

There's a heartbeat out in these streets

Yeah, there's a bonfire that's set alight inside me

There's no money that can stop me

Watch how strong I wanna be

When they said I couldn't be

I know there's more to life than this

'Cause something's calling me

So I follow the river

So I follow the river

And I'm gonna catch a wind

'Cause I'm dying to begin

So I follow the, the river (follow the river)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Follow the river

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Oh

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Follow the river)

(Follow the river)

I know there's more to life than this

'Cause something's calling me
