River
Lea Michele (Glee) Lyrics

It's coming on Christmas
The holiday season is approaching

They're cutting down trees
People are preparing for the holiday by cutting down trees

They're putting up reindeer
Decorative deer are being set up for the holiday

And singing songs of joy and peace
People are spreading positive vibes with holiday songs

Oh I wish I had a river
The artist has a strong desire for something to relieve their emotions

I could skate away on
They wish they could escape or flee from their current situation

But it don't snow here
The singer's location is not conducive for what they desire

It stays pretty green
The environment doesn't change much throughout the year

I'm going to make a lot of money
The artist has a plan to improve their current situation through financial gain

And then I'm going to quit this crazy scene
They wish to leave their current lifestyle and start fresh

I wish I had a river so long
The singer wants something with a significant magnitude to help them escape

I would teach my feet to fly
They want to have the ability to soar above their issues

He tried hard to help me
Someone has tried to assist the singer previously

You know, he put me at ease
The efforts of the previous helper brought some comfort to the singer

And he loved me so naughty
The previous helper had a loving yet mischievous nature towards the singer

Made me weak in the knees
The artist was easily swayed by the previous helper's actions

I'm so hard to handle
The artist recognizes that they are difficult to deal with

I'm selfish and I'm sad
They acknowledge their negative traits and emotions

Now I've gone and lost the best baby
The singer has lost a significant person in their life

That I ever had
This person held a lot of value to the artist

I made my baby cry
The artist caused emotional pain to someone they cared about

I wish I had a river so long
The desire for escape is still present

I made my baby say goodbye
Their actions led to a final goodbye with the person they lost
