Lyrics
[Verse 1] We used to be rivers, wide and deep, Flowin' together where the willows weep. The sunlight danced on our water's skin, But now we're dry, cracked, and wearin' thin. [Chorus] We used to be rivers, oh, how we ran, Through the heart of this tired land. Now we're just echoes, dust in the breeze, We used to be rivers, now were just memories. [Verse 2] Your laugh was the ripple, my voice the tide, We carried each other, side by side. But the storms came hard, tore the banks apart, Left the canyon empty in my heart. [Prechorus] And I wonder, do you feel it too? That hollow ache where the water flowed through? [Chorus] We used to be rivers, oh, how we ran, Through the heart of this tired land. Now we're just echoes, dust in the breeze, We used to be rivers, now were just memories. [Bridge] The map still shows the path we made, But the flow is gone, the colors fade. I stand where the current used to run, And I can't help but wonder where you've gone.
