[Intro]
Come and live down in the river with me
Come a little closer to my lips
Later at night we're talking dreams
Blow me a kiss like a pebble on the water, water, water
[Verse 1]
I've been watching you from behind the mirror
Looking right down on me, looking right at me
You can't see me yet, through the ripples you made
Looking right down on me, looking lost on me
[Pre-Chorus]
While you're lying down by the riverside
You can tell me all, I'm oblivion
[Chorus]
Don't go back from a wild heart to a tamed life
Stay here with me
Don't go back hiding secrets like it's a weakness
Stay here with me
[Post-Chorus]
Come and live down in the river with me
Come a little closer to my lips
Later at night we're talking dreams
Blow me a kiss like a pebble on the water, water
Water, water
[Verse 2]
You're thoughts are broken, sprinkled all over me
Looking right down on me, looking right at me
In the night, they shine like splinters of glass
Looking right down on me, looking lost on me
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm the other girl, at the right time
You can tell me all, I'm oblivion
[Chorus]
Don't go back from a wild heart to a tamed life
Stay here with me
Don't go back hiding secrets like it's a weakness
Stay here with me
Come into the deep with me
Come and live down in the river with me
Come a little closer to my lips
Later at night we're talking dreams
Blow me a kiss like a pebble on the water
Come and live down in the river with me
Come a little closer to my lips
Look into eyes and trust in me
Blow me a kiss like a pebble on the water
[Outro]
Stay here with me
Stay here with me
Water, water, water
