[Verse 1] I watch 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 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 itself 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 (Oh-oh-oh-oh) (Oh-oh-oh-oh) [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 Till 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 [Outro] Let it fall Let it run I am not the end of what comes from you Not the same water Still moving through River stays by leaving you (Ah-ah-ah-ah) (Ah-ah-ah-ah) River stays by leaving you
