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
