I've been fishing this river Four days and three nights No coffee with breakfast and I don't feel alright All this time on my hands and all of my arms So many we've hurt that there's none left to harm Take me back up the river to my home I've earned nothing here worthy to save And I'm tired of pushing my hands Boat bought by my father I can't seem to earn Nothing feels like it's mine except these bridges I've burned Here I hide all my troubles while I try to keep face I'm behind my own self, I can't keep my own pace Take me back down the road to my home I've earned nothing here worthy to save And I'm tired of racing myself Five days to row home, still I've nothing to save It's all the work that I've wasted That makes me this way I'm twisting this piece that I took on myself Only hope for me left is to redefine wealth Let me back in the house that's my home I've earned nothing here worthy to save And I'm tired of making excuses
