“In Your River” samples the smooth background beat from “Stark’s Reality” the fifth track on “Sour Soul”; a collaborative studio album composed by BADBADNOTGOOD and Wu Tang Clan member Ghostface Killah.
[Verse 1]
Sorry I’m not love
I’m lost in a blur
I’m dealing with a lot
I’m feenin’ for your heart
Why?
Why don’t I just stop?
Hope for way too much
I’m leaving in my thoughts
I’m trying, but I'm not-not
I-I-I
[Chorus]
I never mind
I never know what to do but
To float in your river
It hurts inside me
It's all a fever
In the midst of time
I float in your river
Now I’m missing in mine
[Verse 2]
Sorry, I’m not her
And now that I’ve learned
That my best is not enough
I’m close to giving up
I-I, I
I sure did not plan
To feel a love so grand
This weight is heavy on my head
Not leaving of your left hand
Why?
[Chorus]
I never mind
I never know what to do but
To float in your river
It hurts inside me
It's all a fever
In the midst of time
I float in your river
Now I’m missing in mine

When asked during a January 2017 interview with Teeth Magazine what her favorite song she had ever written was, Aalegra said:
I think “In Your River” because it just explains my feelings, sound and voice in a natural and smooth way. It’s the song I always play first if anyone asks to hear my music....
