About

“The River” on Manchester Orchestra’s sophomore album Mean Everything to Nothing, focuses on Andy Hull’s relationship with God. The lyrics reference scripture and are centered around the feeling that although he believes in God, he finds himself straying. He wants to be cleansed of his sins knowing...

The River Lyrics

I fought the spirit with a sword in my side
Cheat, wanted a way out, crack my rib, wait to die
I think I know you the best when I sleep
I think I know everything

Me and my brothers, we have tongues sharp as knives
I found a way out, make a noise, close your eyes
I think I talk to you best when I sing
I sing about almost everything

Oh, God I need it
So let me sing again
Take me to the river
And let me see again

Oh my God
Let me see again
Oh my God
Let me see again
Let me see again

Grace taught a debtor
Daily I'm strained to be
God how I feel it
Fetter pride to your feet

I'm going to leave you the first chance I get
I'm going to leave you the first chance I get
I'm going to leave you the first chance I bet
I'm going to leave you the first chance I get

And oh God, I need it
Well I was wrong again
Take me to the river
And make me clean again

Oh my God
Make me clean again
Oh my God
Let me see again
