Rivers Lyrics

I feel as though you want to live forever
Borrow, beg and steal
It takes much more than toes to swim across
This river that we know
I don't believe the scorpion would die
Clever clever crows
And till the light goes out I'll live in awe

So look inside
New found demise
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind
Fully out of line
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways

Still friends with vices don't care for advice
Send them off
To all sinners and saints
Lift your bottomless glasses and come
It's all around
Well, it's all wrong

So look inside
New found demise
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind (blind)
Fully out of line (line)
So natural
I'm slipping side, sideways

Sideways [x4]

Well it seems as though you want to live forever
Well it takes much more than toes to swim across

And it's slipping
Sideways [x3]
And it's slipping
Sideways [x3]

So look inside (inside)
New found demise (found demise)
So natural (so natural)
I'm slipping side, sideways
Blind (blind)
Fully out of line (line)
So natural (so natural)
I'm slipping side, sideways

Sideways [x6]

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.

I think this song might be about having kids. "Your only chance at immortality is through your children."

Certainly takes more than toes.
