lyrics

Lately our words all seem to fall short
When I put up my guard, what you mean gets ignored
I'm tryin' to own my hurt before it owns me instead
Cause it feels like we're oil and water, not friends

They say that iron sharpens iron
But I think we've gone and drawn blood again
I know it ain't easy to learn how to love
The wayward stranger I've gone and become

Caught in the whirlwind
I lost who you are
Long nights moved in
And I looked past your heart

But one thing holds true
When we lose our ground
I’ll find my way to you
Sure as a river runs down
Down to the coast

I remember the day your dad said with pride
That you'd met your match and I've grown to know why
He called you a force to be reckoned with
And to tell you the truth, it'd be pretty hard to miss

But I wouldn't have you, oh any other way
You're a fire I don't wanna tame
Each and every flame with its own hue
All the right shades of you

Caught in the whirlwind
I lost who you are
Long nights moved in
And I looked past your heart

But one thing holds true
When we lose our ground
I’ll find my way to you
Sure as a river runs down
Down to the coast

We've got this table for eight all set in its place
It's a little worn around the edges
But a perfect place to say grace

But one thing holds true
When we lose ground
I’ll find my way to you
Sure as a river runs down
Down to the coast
Sure as a river runs down
Down to the coast
Sure as a river runs down
Down to the coast

Even in the grip of our own cold war
You’re still my favourite person in the world
