Well this world it seems Was built for someone bigger than us So we trip and fall at the beck and call Of those we blindly trust But when your luck starts to turn and your stars align You'll get to thinking that you know a little bit about this life But when you crash and burn child you'll come to find It's really just a roll of the dice It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring So don't let me drown if you don't want this boat to sink Well these shields of ours They guard us from the whip of the night But they weigh us down and when morning comes around Well we can never seem to stand ourselves upright So hold onto me and I vow To keep my grip And even if that means risking everything Well honey, you can send me right down with the ship It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring So don't let me drown if you don't want this boat to sink Slow down We're taking water fast Don't you jump the gun, there's no need to run From what we've already passed It's cold where this river's bound, but baby keep traveling downstream There's gold waiting to be found if we can keep out from the deeps Some things will change, some will stay the same, and some will hurt before you get that ring And I won't let you drown 'cause I don't want this goddamn boat to sink
