The More Rivers You Cross The More You Know About Rivers Lyrics

December black but on a windowsill I sit for hours
I kind of know how he feels
So much time to kill, and memories
Oh, lost faces
I wish I had them now

But I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

I hope to God I don't send you out broken hearted
I have been known
Back it up and then maybe I'll see you later
Or maybe I won't

But I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

So you don't want to know the truth about how I feel
Listen to the rain come pouring down as we're leaving London
How quickly you seem to forget how I got to you
I finally have got it made and you throw it all away

Hold your head high
Split the seams
Tired eyes, Tired eyes
Squints and staring
Looks that kill
Sarcastic smile, sarcastic smile

And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

So you don't want to know the truth about how I feel
Listen to the rain come pouring down as we're leaving London
How quickly you seem to forget how I got to you
I finally have got it made and you throw it all away

The Legs That Carried Him

December black but on a windowsill I sit for hours
I kind of know how he feels
So much time to kill, and memories
Oh, lost faces
I wish I had them now

But I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

I hope to God I don't send you out broken hearted
I have been known
Back it up and then maybe I'll see you later
Or maybe I won't

But I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

So you don't want to know the truth about how I feel
Listen to the rain come pouring down as we're leaving London
How quickly you seem to forget how I got to you
I finally have got it made and you throw it all away

Hold your head high
Split the seams
Tired eyes, Tired eyes
Squints and staring
Looks that kill
Sarcastic smile, sarcastic smile

And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am
And I'm sorry, I am what I am

So you don't want to know the truth about how I feel
Listen to the rain come pouring down as we're leaving London
How quickly you seem to forget how I got to you
I finally have got it made and you throw it all away

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.
