Heart in the River

Can water cleanse my bleeding soul
or quench the bitterness in my heart
or is this uncertain surrender
what will tear us apart?

Tie your heart to my own
and join me in the river
we'll drown if this is love
we'll die if this is water;
let's sink down to the bottom
and tell you if it's better.

I sit here and I play with matches,
because I'm not convinced that they'll burn;
looking at the smoke in the air
I know that I'll never learn.

Tie your heart to my own
and join me in the river
we'll drown if this is love
we'll die if this is water;
let's sink down to the bottom
and tell me if it's better.

I walk in my sleep
that's how you find me now.
I talk in my sleep
you hear me somehow.

Tie your heart to my own
and join me in the river
we'll drown if this is love
we'll die if this is water;
let's sink down to the bottom
and tell me if it's better.

Tie your heart to my own
and join me in the river
we'll drown if this is love
we'll die if this is water;
let's sink down to the bottom
and tell me if it's better;
well, tell me if it's better.
