Lyrics

River Rival

[Verse 1]

River rival

No survival

It's a mirror

More than you know

Bow and arrow

Straight and narrow

Keep it tribal

At your peril

[Chorus]

I can see a light around you

Empty spaces will confine you, mm-mm-mm

[Verse 2]

River rival

No survival

It's a mirror

More than I know

Reach across

The cold divider

I will warm you

Hold you tighter

[Chorus]

I can see a light around you

Empty spaces will confine you, mm-mm-mm

[Outro]

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

(I can see a light around you)

(Empty spaces will confine you, mm-mm)
