lyrics

And you brought out the dog
And you felt sometimes like even that just wasn't enough

Cause you felt you weren't moving,
it was a secret you never gave air
You'd take him for laps round the cul de sac
Not quite getting anywhere

And you pulled the trigger,
when you found that it was time
You'd be damned if that pup had to go
in a strangers hands or in mine

and the river goes up,
and it will drag you under as it always does

But not one of us is sold
on these breaths and these bones
and these histories we've been told

you say, "What's with the pity? When you all feel the same?
Though some may tell their sorrows and others will take theirs to the grave,

Yeah the most we can hope for is a living epitaph
There's no triumph in this heart
no place that goes and calls you back."

But the river goes up,
and it will drag you under as it always does
