[Verse 1]
I purchased a brand new costume to fulfill you on the town
Are you able to stroll me by the park to point out it off?
I can pull my hair again as tight as you need
While you wrap me in your arms and by no means cease[Pre-Chorus]
Coronary heart beats so laborious it drowns me out
Dwelling in an April storm
You crash, child, drown me out (Ooh, ooh, ooh)[Chorus]
You are similar to a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You are similar to a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go on ceaselessly
You might be like a river[Verse 2]
Blowing bubbles within the bathtub, I have been occupied with it currently
You would be the one, have the honour of my infants
I hope they obtained your eyes and that crooked smile
Was a desert earlier than I met you, I used to be in a drought[Pre-Chorus]
Coronary heart beats so laborious it drowns me out
Dwelling in an April storm
You crash, child, drown me out (Ooh, ooh, ooh)[Chorus]
You are similar to a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You are similar to a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go on ceaselessly
You might be like a river[Post-Chorus]
You by no means run dry (Oh)[Bridge]
I really feel you in all places
Your face is all in my hair
Lined in your sweat
It turns me on that you just care, honey
Your love, it flows similar to a river[Chorus]
You are similar to a river (that is what you’re)
You are similar to a river (that is what you’re)
You are similar to a river (that is what you’re)
You might be like a river
You are similar to a river (coronary heart beats so laborious it drowns me)
You might be like a river
You go on ceaselessly (you collapse, child, drown me out)
You might be like a river
