Lyrics:
Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go
You were the first, you wouldn't be the last
What the river took, we could never replace
And as the pain set in so did the realisation
You were never coming home
For nights we lay awake
Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope
And if love could change the course of fate
These nights, we move mountains
But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us
Shook us to the core
Loss struck like a dagger in our aching hearts
So follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go
It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years
Old soul, so it's said
The day we lost is the day I found regret
Not in the waters that embraced you
But in the wake your absence left
Sink into me
Hold out your hands, sink into me
Hold out your hands, I'll take you away
Hold out your hands, surrender the weight of this world
Follow your heart to the water
Fill your pockets with stone
Throw your arms around me
Never let me go
Never let me go

+marc flo Vice Grip hates you too. I mean it's a good song, though. If it was by another band no one would be hating as much. It's just not regular PWD. I like the feel good attitude of it. I get why people wouldn't like it though. Bands in the past have done much, much worse.

[@karaleiigh]

Anyone else get extreme goosebumps throughout this entire song? I can't get over how good it is..

[@DraculaXHunter101]

"It's not the years in your life, it's the life in your years." I used that line for a friend of mine who was moving away from home who've known since 4th grade. When I gave her the letter the day before she left, she cried all over me cause she was glad that we became good friends. We thankfully still keep in contact once in awhile and writing that letter was a good way to say goodbye. Bittersweet, but it's the one way to show that you care. But thank you to Parkway Drive for also, for writing such incredible music.

Unluckily idols and anchors is one of the songs I sadly nsver got to listen to. But I'm 100% sure I'll like it. Ive been a fan of them for just 6 months and a true fan for like 2 or 3. And I started listening to metalcore like a year ago. But it's quite an experience.

Dude, after reading your comment and then reading the lyrics to The River, it makes so much sense especially this section What the river took, we could never replace And as the pain set in, so did the realization That you were never coming home For nights we lay awake Wishing for answers, hoping against all hope And if love could change the course of fate These nights, we move mountains But as the news filtered down the line, the impact shook us Shook us to the core
