[Pre-Chorus]
Trust me I know the struggle
Yeah I know that this life ain't fair
I wish I could stay inside my bubble
'Cause yeah it feels safe in there

[Chorus]
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
Being myself

[Verse]
'Cause we feel too much
And we talk too little
It's been enough
I'm feeling bitter
I feel like the world's a different place now
I think I wanna go back to the river

[Pre-Chorus]
Trust me I know the struggle
Yeah I know that this life ain't fair
I wish I could stay inside my bubble
'Cause yeah it feels safe in there
[Chorus]
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
Being myself

[Verse]
We don't fight anymore
We struggle, we fall, we plead
We don't fight anymore
We fall and we free ourselves from all of our sorrows
Where it hurts and it's hollow inside
And suffer in silence
(Suffer in silence)

[Chorus]
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
Being myself

[Chorus]
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
I wanna go back to the river
I wanna go back to being myself
Being myself
[Outro]
Where I grew up
Where I spent all of my time
Where I would play in the sand
Where I would play with my friends
And I was not on my phone
I was not alone
I was not alone
