“Rivers” is definitely a very summer vibe-type of song with catchy lyrics about empowerment of moving on and taking a leap in a completely different direction in life, and you can feel that summer’s in the air with all the tropical elements and danceable latin-influenced rhythm the song has.
lyrics
[Verse 1] (Jonathan)
Colors and places
I’ve seen all these faces
I’m tired, I’m wasted
I’ve covered my traces
From lovers and spaces
Making me feel faded
I don’t wanna fake this
So I say empty phrases
[Pre-chorus] (Jonathan)
Breathe in, breathe out
Benefit of the doubt
Everything seems so loud
I’m on a different road now
[Chorus] (Katelyn)
Let go, don’t stay (ay ay)
It’s all gonna be okay
Just leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
[Post-chorus] (Katelyn)
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
[Verse 2] (Katelyn)
Dark roads and headlights
Crash and burn in my mind
I don’t know why time
Never feels like it’s mine
[Pre-chorus] (Katelyn)
Breathe in, breathe out
Benefit of the doubt
Everything seems so loud
I’m on a different road now
[Chorus] (Katelyn)
Let go, don’t stay
It’s all gonna be okay
Just leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
Let go, don’t stay
It’s all gonna be okay
Just leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
[Post-chorus] (Katelyn & Jonathan)
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
[Bridge] (Katelyn)
Breathe in, breathe out
Benefit of the doubt
Everything seems so loud
I’m on a different road now
[Chorus] (Katelyn)
Let go, don’t stay
It’s all gonna be okay
Just leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
Let go, don’t stay
It’s all gonna be okay
Just leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
[Post-chorus] (Katelyn & Jonathan)
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Leave it all, leave it all, leave it all behind
Like rivers running wild
