(Will)
This river between us
Grows wider each day
He talks but he mostly has little to say
I beg him to separate the truth from the tale
But the river invites him

This river between us
Grows harder to bare
Standing beside me, but not really there
His flights turn to fancy as soon as he'll start
His fancy excites him
So Edward takes heart

He promised he’d restrain himself
He promised he'd be good
He promised he'd contain himself
As if he ever could

My father speaks and shooting stars
Fill the skies above you
So why don’t I believe my father
When he says I love you

(Edward)
This river between us
(Will)
There's a river between us

(Both)
There's an ocean between us

(Edward)
This river between us
Is selfish and cold
It flows where it wants to
It can't be controlled
My son doesn't want me
To be what I am
He don't give a damn

(Will)
He only sees what he invents

(Edward)
He only sees the black and white

(Will)
Only believe in the pre-tense

(Edward)
And always wants to start a fight
(Will)
He doesn't change

(Edward)
He doesn't stay

(Both)
And so the river winds it’s way
This river between us may never be crossed
And while we stay silent, we’re violently tossed

(Will)
I'll leave him to ponder

(Edward)
I’ll leave him alone

(Will)
'Cause he's made of stone

(Edward)
He's made of stone

(Will)
He’s made of stone
(Edward)
He's made of stone

(Both)
This river between us
Can rage like the sea
Holding on for dear life
As my (father/child) and me

(Edward)
He'll come to his senses

(Will)
Swimming and yet

(Edward)
He'll drop his defenses

(Will)
He's holding a net

(Both)
And thought I can't change him
Someday he'll regret

(Will)
This river between us

(Edward)
This river between us

(Will)
This river between us

(Edward)
This river between us

(Will)
This river

(Both)
Between us
