Even A River(Album Version) - 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
