Lyrics Little Boots – River

Oh, oh, oh, oh

My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse

Starting out at the sea
Drowning like I can’t breathe
Till I found the strength to leave to the land
Sucking back into me
I’m evaporating
Till I’m nothing but cracked dirt and sand

And I don’t know what I am grieving
Name or face or time or feeling

My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse

Can anything really grow
On the scorched earth below?
Dreaming of green and gold once again
And when the damn bursts I know
I’ll come out cleansed and cold

And I don’t know what I’m grieving
Name or face or time or feeling

My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse

Everything you took from me
Everything I had to leave
Everything I’ve got to be
Is coming, coming to me
Everything you took from me
Everything I had to leave
Everything I’ve got to be
Is coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Coming, coming to me
Into me

My heartbreak flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
My heartbeat flows
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse
Like a river in reverse

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
