[00:17.80]We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
[00:23.52]I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
[00:29.61]You took something before you went in the shower
[00:35.50]To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight
[00:41.32]If I had known you couldn't swim
[00:45.03] We would never have gone in
[00:47.73]I left my love in the river
[00:53.82]The only one who sees

[01:42.28]We would never have gone in
[01:45.77]I left my love in the river

[02:44.74]Now cold to the skin
[02:48.17]I left my lover in the river
[02:54.12]The only one I see
[02:59.87]I lost his hand in the current

Alvvays Next of Kin
We walked along the rocks for nearly an hour
I caught the way you looked at me in the sunlight
You took something before you went in the shower
To help suppress the things that make you feel uptight
If I had known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I hoped for
And now I'm left sifting through the reeds
The sun so hot, I saw his skin through his t-shirt
The grass so tall, I knew we wouldn't be found
We climbed into the stream sure no one would be heard
And in no time at all there wasn't a sound
If I had known you couldn't swim
We would never have gone in
I left my love in the river
The only one who sees
I lost his hand in the current
It was the life I wanted and I hoped for
And now I am left sifting through the reeds
Now cold to the skin, inform the next of kin
Now cold to the skin
I left my lover in the river
The only one I see
I lost his hand in the current
And now I am left flowing through the trees
