Lyrics
You were still a kid when the hurricane came
The crumpled up sky and the hollering rain
The brook turned black in the screeching wind
Swelled like she'd pulled the whole world in
And you'd seen the creek before
Shining pretty in the sun
Now she boils and crashes
Full of dark poison water
And like a taunt she dares you
To reach inside yourself
For the hungry thing that scares you
Oh god get back and don't look down
In the river there's a hunger
That's devouring the town
Dragging everything she treasures deep inside of herself
Till it drowns
Oh god get back and don't look down
Ten years along
You've been gracious, you've been driven
You've been whittling away
At the body you were given
Staying quieter than silence
And hungrier than sin
Chewing up your lips
To keep all your poison in
And you're sick to death of fighting
With the thing you saw
The day the creek rose up
And you watched the sky fall
You've been smiling like the sunshine
Just as long as you remember
But there are clouds on the horizon
And they're rising with your temper
Oh god get back and don't look down
Do you root for the river
Instead of the town
Your ties are coming undone
Your heart unbound
Oh god get back and don't look down
One of these days
You're gonna rise up like the river
Over everything you treasure
And everything you ever did
Lay your claim, make the streets your own
Fold it all into you till you're heaving and alone
Oh god get back and don't look down
You're the river, you're the storm
It's too late to stop you now
The seas will swallow the sun
The world will bow
Oh god get back or you will drown
Oh god get back and don't look down
Oh god get back
