More Like A River



There's a motel in Texas

Hard bed under wide blue sky
I had a dream there

But morning came too soon

I rolled over

I said it out loud

I said give me one moment

Just one more moment

To finish this dream


I wanna be

More like a river

And less like a wall

Not try to hold back these feelings at all

Cause when I miss you

When I'm dying to kiss you

I need to let that flow

More like a river



There's a house in the mountains

Filled with bits of me and you

I had a dream there

But morning came too soon

I've been holding on

It's been holding me back

I don't want to give in

I know what you'd say to me

Finish this dream



Can I be

More like a river

And less like a wall

Not try to hold back these feelings at all

Cause when I miss you

When I'm dying to kiss you

I need to let that flow

More like a river



Cause in the morning

There are kids and dogs

And bills and sunlight

And a new day

And a new day

And another new day...without you
