One way
R.I.V.E.R Lyrics

I'll change my name
I want to start over with a new identity.

I'm in my brand new car
I have a new toy to help me run away from my problems.

I don't know if we'll get that far
I'm not sure if I'll ever be capable of lasting change.

But if we do, I'll be right there
If I ever manage to follow through, I will make sure to be there for you.

Right there for you
I recognize the importance of being present and supportive for you.

"It's not you, it's always me"
I take responsibility for my issues and recognize they are not caused by external factors.

And that means nothing to me
I acknowledge it's not enough to simply identify the problem without taking action.

"One day"
I hold onto hope for a better future.

I hope you don't mind
I ask for your forgiveness and understanding as I work towards change.

That's the last thing a person like me
As someone who struggles with commitment and change, the phrase "It's not you, it's me" is a cliche and unhelpful excuse.

"Yea, I don't believe
I recognize the issues are rooted in myself, and refuse to let myself believe otherwise.

I'll change my name
I am committed to starting over and becoming a better person.

Get a brand new car
I am willing to invest in new tools and resources to facilitate my growth.

One day we'll get that far
I hold onto hope that one day we can have a better future together as a result of my efforts.

Yea, you and me, finally together
I desire a meaningful and lasting relationship with you, and am willing to work towards that future.

And I hope you won't mind
I am aware that my journey towards change may be difficult and cause discomfort, but I ask for your patience and support along the way.
