Lyrics
This river where you found me
I was just trying to swim away
No sir I was not drowning
Put me back so I can see another day
Put me back so I can swim and see my family
Put me back before you play me just the same
I'm only stopping for the ones who understand me
From down here you see I only stand to gain
This river where you caught me
I was just drinking my coffee
I was just finding my own way
You seem to think that I'm confused
A helpless bird that's soft and bruised and used
And all I could use is you out of my way
Let me be so I can go and see my family
Let me be before you play one of those games
I'm only stopping for the ones who understand me
From down here you see I only stand to gain
From down here you see I only stand to gain
And I need for you to not tell me what I need
And I'd like for you to not tell me what I'd like
I've got nothing, I need nothing, I want nothing
But to swim alone tonight
Nothing left to lose, you only stand to gain
Nothing left to lose, only stand, only stand, only stand, only stand to gain
When you've got nothing left to lose you only stand to gain
Nothing left to lose, only stand to gain
I'm gonna stand again
I am gonna, I am gonna stand again
I only stand to gain
To gain
