Текст пісні
I swore I'd walk a straighter line
Bury the past, leave it behind
But every step, I circle round
Back to the same old haunted ground
I can cover up the doubt
Pretend I've found another route
But a river never straightens out
It twists the same through flood and drought
No matter how I scream or shout
A river never straightens out
I've burned my bridges, built them new
And shifted all I thought I knew
Deep scars are etched beneath my skin
And old ghosts still seep back in
While I trade my faith for doubt
The current always pulls me out
‘Cause a river never straightens out
It wanders while it carves a route
I try to change, I turn about
But rivers never straighten out
Is there hope in breaking free?
Or am I bound by destiny?
If the banks could shift someday
Could the water find its way?
Still, the river never straightens out
It carves its truth, it leaves no doubt
Maybe change is what we dream about
But a river never straightens out
The river never straightens out
It twists the same through flood and drought
No matter how I scream or shout
A river never straightens out
