After The Devil Beats His Wife by Emery
After The Devil Beats His Wife lyrics
You wanna swim in the river, I wanna dance in the summer
You've always been the believer, I'm always left to wonder
The water is rushing so fast, I think it will take us under
Oh, what thought did you recall
That would make you say my name?
Oh, the water is so deep, our friends say don't go
But my mouth betrays me and says hold on
And now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking
We're gonna drown in a river, I cannot swim any farther
My blood is pumping so fast, my heart and limbs underwater
Then I reach and find your hand in mine
And they say you will be saved, but no, I pull and I pull and I pull
But your foot, it's anchored deep
Your face tells me you won't be free
And now I know this is the pain of believing
The danger is real and there's no easy way out
How did I get here? You trust too much in my bravery
It's my safety you're taking, oh
I decided long ago
Never let your loved ones know
Who you really are, who you really are
People want the truth but never want the scars
And now I'm here with my best friend dying
And I'm the one that's still lying
And you say it's gonna be okay
Over and over, and over and over, and over and over again
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
River wash me clean
