The Same River Lyrics

Part I (instrumental)

Part II (instrumental)

Part III (Again)

/she/

I stay... I swear... I am... I can...

Please take a walk with me
Let me know - Am I to blame?

As you know
I've always loved you and I know I will always love...

Part IV (I am)

I am your fear, hope
I am your grief, joy
I am your deed, word
I am your hate, love

I know... I can... Wanna stay...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Absolutely stunning. For me, this song seems to show both the light and dark sides to a serious relationship...

@kiiabby or is it simply the story of a man obsessed? / disillusioned? (perhaps reading more into the later lyrics on this album and proceeding two give more of an insight)

Could it be that they have possibly done something to jeopardise their relationship and now are looking to mend that?

Possible the title "river" alludes to the meandering nature of a relationship, i.e. some times it is straight and easy, other times rough, full of twists, sometimes fast and exciting, other times slow, laboured.
