[Verse 1]
I'll try to explain this
You'll understand if you're chasing greatness
The heartache, the mistakes
Are a part of what it takes to make it
[Pre-Chorus]
I know you wanna play the part
No giving up when it gets hard
And so I'll be the one to show you
That pain defines you
The pain defines you
[Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel the current underneath
So why do I feel safe
When there's no escaping?
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
'Cause it's the only way
[Verse 2]
You want it, I've got it
Even though they tried to leave me heartless
Misguided, it's said that
You found yourself alone inside the darkness
[Pre-Chorus]
It's hard to leave the ones you love
But it's a part of growing up
And so I'll be the one to show you
That pain defines you
The pain defines you
[Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel the current underneath
So why do I feel safe
When there's no escaping?
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
'Cause it's the only way
[Bridge]
I wanted to be someone who'd never let you down (let you down)
But it's better to try and fail than never try at all
[Outro-Chorus]
The river's flowing over me
I feel the current underneath
So why do I feel safe
When there's no escaping?
The river's flowing over me
I feel the current underneath
So why do I feel safe
When there's no escaping?
Your silence is deafening
When help is all I need
Why do I feel safe?
'Cause it's the only way
[Outro]
'Cause it's the only way (it's the only way)
It's the only way
When there's no escaping

I was playing acoustic guitar in the studio one day and just humming along. I didn’t realize it, but Matt [Horn, drummer] started recording me. Then I just stopped playing, and he was like, “That was re...
