LOVE LIKE A Traveler Verse 1 I’ve wandered through a thousand books, Through borrowed lives and second looks, I touched the words of those who knew What love can break, what time can do. I gathered wisdom line by line, Like bees steal sweetness from the vine, But every page I thought I knew Turned into something else with you. Pre-Chorus They told me, “Guard your heart somehow,” But no one tells you when or how. Chorus So love me like a river, Don’t promise me the sea, Run wild when you are with me, But never drown in me. Hold me like tomorrow Might change the road we’re on, Love me with your whole heart— But keep a little you when I am gone. Verse 2 I used to think that love should stay, That real things never fade away, That hands once joined could never learn How easily the seasons turn. But life keeps spinning like a wheel, And even mountains move, I feel. Today your name can mean “my home,” Tomorrow just a word I’ve known. Pre-Chorus Still I won’t teach my heart to hide, Just not to leave itself behind. Chorus So love me like a river, Don’t promise me the sea, Run wild when you are with me, But never drown in me. Hold me like tomorrow Might change the road we’re on, Love me with your whole heart— But keep a little you when I am gone. Bridge Let the volcano burn below, We don’t have to kill its glow. Let every feeling rise and run— Just don’t mistake two hearts for one. And if one day the wheel should turn, I won’t call every memory burned. Something can end and still be true; I can lose forever— Without losing you. Final Chorus Love me like a river, No chains around the sea, Come rushing through my silence, Then flow where you must be. We don’t own tomorrow, We only own this song— So love me with your whole heart, And leave us both Whole when love moves on. Outro I’ve read a thousand answers, But one survived them all: Love deeply when love finds you— Just don’t disappear inside its call.
