There ain't no gold in this river
That I've been washing my hands in forever
I know there is hope in these waters
But I can't bring myself to swim
When I am drowning in this silence
Baby, let me in
*Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
Didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
There ain't no room for things to change
When we are both so deeply stuck in our ways
You can't deny how hard I have tried
I changed who I was to put you both first
But now I give up
*Repeat
I had good intentions
And the highest hopes
But I know right now
It probably doesn't even show
Go easy on me, baby
I was still a child
I didn't get the chance to
Feel the world around me
I had no time to choose what I chose to do
So go easy on me
How come we both become a version of a person we don't even like?
We're in love with the world but the world just wants to bring us down
By puttin' ideals in our heads to corrupt our hearts somehow
When I was a child every single thing could blow my mind
Soaking it all up for fun, but now I only soak up wine
They say to play hard, you work hard, find balance in the sacrifice
And yet I don't know anybody who's truly satisfied
You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
So we can love each other for free
Everybody wants something, you just want me
Why am I obsessing about the things I can't control?
Why am I seeking approval from people I don't even know?
In these crazy times I hope I can find something I can cling onto
'Cause I need some substance in my life, something real, something that feels true
You better believe for you I've cried (I've cried, I've cried)
High tides (High tides, high tides)
'Cause I Want you so bad, but you can't fight fire with fire
Oh-oh, oh-oh
I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free
'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me
Listen I know how low I can go, I give as good as I get
You get the brunt of it all 'cause you're all I've got left
I hope in time (Hope in time) we both will find (We'll both find) peace of mind
Sometimes the road less traveled is the road best left behind
So I hope I learn to get over myself
Stop trying to be somebody else
Oh, I just want to love you, love you for free, yeah
'Cause everybody wants something from me, you just want me
You better believe I'm trying (Trying, trying)
To keep climbing (Climbing, climbing)
But the higher we climb feels like we're both none the wiser
