[Verse 1]
Lately, nothing goes in my direction
Lately, nothing's coming my way
Keep drowning every bit of my devotion
Sinking deeper every day
And lately, I am missing my reflection
And everybody cuddle on the pavement
Driving every thought into distortion, mmh

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I'm okay, work even harder
My mama used to say that it's the way it goes
Feelings gonna make me smarter
And to realize that...

[Chorus]
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it, nah
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow, let it flow

[Verse 2]
Wherever could be rising on the mountains
Climbing high enough to see the sky
To light up all the colors of its motion
Leave every obstacle behind
I promise it could happen any day now
When soon enough I also see the light
Get a little glimpse of my emotions, mmh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Yeah I'll get it, I'll work even harder
My mama used to say that it's the way it goes
Feelings gonna make me smarter
And to realize that...

[Chorus]
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it, nah
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow, let it flow
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow
The river always ends up in the ocean
Nothing we could ever do about it, nah
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow, let it flow

[Outro]
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let it flow
Oh oh oh oh oh
Nothing we could ever do about it, nah
Nothing we could ever do but let it flow, let it flow
