Even A River-Carla Werner

Even a river runs somewhere Home to the sea I am not inside this face So please stop staring at me I will need saving from myself Could you be there to save me? When I need weight would you pick me up? Put me back down on both feet I'm not a river, I tell myself I'm not For a river knows just how to be I have been running in spite of myself Like a river that needs to be free Want to be taken some place else Made to face up to the wall And if I feel like I don't want to tell Disregard it as nothing at all Cos I'm careful needing (As I'm) prone to bleeding Over-thinking the way back Got no sense of timing Got no silver lining But maybe I'm finally getting it Haven't you already tried, To raise some other side to me? You know I don't mean to be rude But you're standing inside my light blocking the view It's not really you Want to be taken some place else Made to face up to the wall And if I feel like I don't want to tell Disregard it as nothing at all Cos I'm careful needing (As I'm) prone to bleeding Over-thinking the way back Got no sense of timing Got no silver lining But maybe I'm finally getting it Even a river, runs somewhere Home to the sea I am not inside this face So please, stop, staring at me
