Rivercity Lyrics

[Verse 1]
All the lights out in Rivercity
All the phone lines are dark and gritty
Every half home is up late waiting
I can't leave here til you come get me

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep picking up the line
To hear you on the other side
Can you hear me?
Every time you say goodbye
I'm left here waiting for a sign
Can you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, hear me

[Chorus]
No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

[Post-Chorus]
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone

[Verse 2]
All the ghosts live in Rivercity
Check my pulse, is my heart still beating?
Focus hard on your face, it's fading
I can't leave here til you come get me

[Pre-Chorus]
I keep picking up the line
To hear you on the other side
Can you hear me? Every time you say goodbye
I'm left here waiting for a sign
Can you hear me?
Hear me, hear me, hear me

[Chorus]
No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

[Post-Chorus]
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
Hear me, hear me, hear me

[Chorus]
No, can't tell you to be safe
Can't tell you to be strong
Can't tell you that I love you
So don't put down the phone
Too far away to hold you
Too close to let you go
But I can't fight this for you
So don't put down the phone

[Post-Chorus]
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
Don't! Don't!
Don't put down the phone
