"Rivercity" lyrics - ALL THAT REMAINS
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 till 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
No
[Chorus:]
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
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 till 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
No
[Chorus:]
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
No
[Chorus:]
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
