the night rolled in like your favorite blanket, hanging in the breeze
you let me see what you were made of, tears and torn up knees
you dipped your feet into the current, and told me it was fine
i didn't think you'd ever try to change my mind


so down, down, down to the river bed
i saw you hang your head
and down, down, down swimming far too deep
i gave you a heart that you couldn't keep


frozen typewriters sang to us with pages made of leaves
our bodies blue like our sad demeanor, i knew you don't believe
we found the book you were looking for, sitting where it sank
you picked it up and turned the cover, every page was blank


down, down, down to the river bed
i saw you hang your head
down, down, down swimming far too deep
i made you a promise i couldn't keep


down, down, down to the river bed
i saw you hang your head
down, down, down swimming far too deep
i gave you a heart that you couldn't keep
