Since I met you I've been crazy Since I've been with you I've been lost You make everything seem hazy Love comes with such a cost Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Follow me down to the river Drink while the water is clean Follow me down to the river tonight I'll be down here on my knees So follow me down to the river Follow me down through the trees Follow me down to the river, man I'll be down here on my knees I'll be down here on my knees Nights avoiding things unholy Your hand slips across my skin I go down on you so slowly Don't confess none of your sins Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Follow me down to the river Drink while the water is clean Follow me down to the river tonight I'll be down here on my knees So follow me down to the river Follow me down through the trees Follow me down to the river, man I'll be down here on my knees I'll be down here on my knees When you're young you always take what you can get Even bicycles and sprinklers get you wet Now I know that there's a different way to die My body breathes Heart still beats But I am not alive Follow me down to the river Drink while the water is clean Follow me down to the river tonight I'll be down here on my knees Follow me down to the river Follow me down through the trees Follow me down to the river, man I'll be down here on my knees I'll be down here on my knees Young love as sweet as can be
