I read via an interview and to quote, "Steve wrote that song and a few other songs, he spent about four days at home in Nashville locked in his room and he wrote about ten songs and River was one of those "
Trying to say I don't completely understand the lyrics as there may have been a ton of thoughts mushed together which we all do.
The river of light is love and the others are the ones refraining from it, scared of love, the "statues".
Then the river seems to be about infidelity as he is the other guy, the OTHER love interest waiting to be the only love interest but accepts his place
