I will keep my ships at harbour
Build my walls of fear and anger
And fight you with unlimited reserves
I will make these brittle bridges
From the bones of my contentions
And give your love the kicking it deserves
I don't know if all this hurt's misplaced
I don't know if I can keep it safe
Time is like a river
Life is like the sea
In our little boat with little oars sits you and me
We can fight the current
But I don't know
We might be better going where the water goes
Where the water goes
If I could turn your anger
With a simple turn of phrase
Offer up a kindness that's long overdue
If I could find your favour
Be your friend, be your neighbour
And close the gap we made
From different points of view
I don't know if I could find the strength
I don't know if I can go those lengths
Time is like a river
Life is like the sea
In our little boat with little oars sits you and me
We can fight the current
But I don't know
We might be better going where the water goes
Where the water goes...
