[Verse 1]
I should learn to break my fall but even when I do I land so awkwardly
And today we fought again and left the world of pain where we had poetry
Now we're in between sunset and sundown, it gets darker than this
But I don't want to end it without a kiss
[Chorus]
All I really want is floating down the river
All I really want is a reason to forgive her
Can't believe that I'm not floating down the river with you
Down on the river with you
Sundown river
To the sundown sea
I love sundown
She loves me
[Verse 2]
I just can't believe my luck
I threw it all away
Yet you came back to me
Now I've blown it all again
And left a world of pain
Where you had sympathy
Started thinking I'm all on my own now
Started thinking you're gone
Won't stop thinking about you from now on
[Chorus]
All I really want is floating down the river
All I really want is a reason to forgive her
Can't believe that I'm not floating down the river with you
Down on the river with you
Sundown river
To the sundown sea
I love sundown
She loves me
[Bridge]
This is no love song
This is no game
This is the end unless you let me explain
Don't wanna lose you, I know I'm wrong
Just let me save us so we're both coming home
[Chorus]
All I really want is floating down the river
All I really want is a reason to forgive her
Can't believe that I'm not floating down the river with you
Down on the river with you
Sundown river
To the sundown sea
I love sundown
She loves me
