Nick Andrew Staver - If Only I Were Like the River Lyrics

Louisiana by-way
Haulin' ass to outlast the rain
If it were up to me I'd already be in Baton Rouge, forgetting you
The radio's broken
Oh, how the silence leads to the pining
For something other than a lover like you
If only I were like the river
Unmoved and weatherproof
I'd flow past the memories and flood the banks haunted by the ghosts of you
If only I were like the river
Another lifetime
One I swore I left far behind
Our history, it's a mystery to me
If only I were like the river
Unmoved and weatherproof
I'd flow past the memories and flood the banks haunted by the ghosts of you
I'll rebuild my body
Just as strong as the levee
And risk another flood by letting you back into my heart
If only I were like the river
At ease in my solitude
I'd flow past the memories and flood the banks haunted by the ghosts of you
If only I were like the river
If only I were like the river
If only I were like the river
If only I
If only I
If only I were like the river
