🎵 LYRICS – “Still, the River” (Bon Iver–inspired) Verse 1 I watched the river lean Into a colder sound Every step it takes Is leaving something out I tried to name the shape Of what we used to be But water never holds The hand that sets it free Pre-Chorus Your name Still hums In the bend of things Chorus We are not the same water We are not the same ground Love just keeps on moving Even when it breaks its sound If I fell, I fell forward If I stayed, I stayed changed Every part of you that passed me Left a mark, not a stain Verse 2 There were days of overflow Days I couldn’t stand But even quiet rivers Still know where they land I don’t chase the source now I don’t fight the stream What was lost was never gone It just wasn’t meant to keep Chorus We are not the same water We are not the same ground Time bends every shoreline Til it softens what it found If the love turned into distance Or a low, familiar ache It still carved the space in me Where the light learned how to stay Bridge Let it fall Let it run I am not the end it comes from Final Chorus (half) Not the same water Still moving through Outro River stays By leaving you
