you are the river

i fall into you, get pulled along, dragged out to sea before too long, funny how it's me who made you strong, you are the river and i'm the rain, you'll flood your banks, you'll take out towns, i dove in, swearing i won't drown, if only i could just slow you down, you are the river, and i'm the rain, we're just too much now, too much now, i guess we're both to blame, no i don't know how, i don't know how to stay away. i never know just when to stop, you swell with pride till your levees drop, a hurricane, oh all was lost, you are the river and i'm the rain, we'll never change, try to wish us away, love, oh but i know better, we're a perfect storm, it's just how we're made, i fall, you run. we're just too much now, too much now, it'll always be that way, i don't know how, i don't know how we'll ever change, you're the river and i am the rain, you are the river and i am the rain
