Turning towards more sticky feelings, "Your Lies Are Like Rivers" is about the difficulty navigating a relationship where trust and communication have lapsed, and how the person more invested in the relationship often has to "swim upstream" to get the answers they need when deciding to stay or leave. It ends hopefully with these lyrics:
"The earth is round, and she'll hold you down...
The sky is blue, and she'll weep for you...
The trees are green, and they'll make you feel seen...
The people convene, and they'll make you feel complete..."
Lyrics
In an untouched corner of the earth
Never seen before
Lies echoes of your thoughtless mind
One that I used to adore
I don’t mind if you need me
I just mind that your lovin’ isn’t real
I don’t mind that you’re sorry
I just mind that you know that you can heal
Oh your lies are like rivers
And I’m swimming upstream
Oooooooooo, ohh, ohhhhh
You don’t really need me to wait in line
And I don’t really wanna waste your time
But please, please, please
Just give me my heart back
Stuck in a jungle without a map
Oh when will I get out of your stupid trap?
Oh please, please, please
Your lies are like rivers
Ohh, ohhhhh
A broken heart can never heal
If you can’t even find it
Can a wave crash and fall if there’s no one there to feel it?
Gimme a reason, hey
Gimme a reason why you were the one that I fell in love with
It’s hard to believe that you
Could cast such a shadow on me
When your lovin’ was a myth
Oh your lies are like rivers
And I’m a rock in your stream
Oooooooooo, ohh, ohhhhh
You don’t really need me to wait in line
And I don’t really wanna waste your time
But please, please, please
Just give me my heart back
Stuck in a jungle without a map
Oh when will I get out of your stupid trap?
Oh please, please, please
Your lies are like rivers
The earth is round
And she’ll hold you down
Oh she’ll hold you down
The sky is blue
And she’ll weep for you
Oh she’ll weep for you
The trees are green
And they’ll make you feel seen
Oh they’ll make you feel seen
The people convene
And they’ll make you feel complete
Oh they’ll make you feel complete
