"The River" is the third single from her third studio album. She wrote on Twitter on the 10th of May 2019, "'The River' is out! Feeling that you can't talk about your emotions because pain is associated with weakness, here in my world it's not. Crying can be a happy experience especially afterwards when you feel a bit lighter. That's what The River is about!"
lyrics
Hold your hands up
To your chest and tell me what you find
Out of you a sparrow comes
And sees without its eyes
Don't forget who you are
Even though you are hurt
You are caught in a wire and soon it will burst
You can cry, drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild
And you let the river run wild
I'm a shadow, I am cold and
Now I seek for warmth
Stitch your skin on to my skin and
We won't be alone
Don't forget who you are even though you're in need
Like a bird in the night, your emotions deserves to be free
You can cry, drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild
And you let the river run wild
You can cry, drinking your eyes
I don't miss the sadness when it's gone
And the feeling of it makes me smile
As I let the river run wild
You can cry... you can cry... you can cry...
To where the ocean is bigger
Become a part of the river.
You can cry... you can cry... you can cry...
Can you let the river run wild?
You can cry, you can cry
You can cry, drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild
And you let the river run wild
You can cry, you can cry
You can cry, drinking your eyes
I don't miss the sadness when it's gone
And the feeling of it makes me smile
As I let the river run wild
You can cry drinking your eyes
Do you miss the sadness when it's gone?
And you let the river run wild
And you let the river run wild
