[Verse 1]
I got a new dress just to meet you downtown
Can you walk me through the park just to show it off?
I can pull my hair back in that tight way that you like
If you wrap me in your arms and never stop
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart beats so loud that it's drownin’ me out
Livin' in an April shower
You're pourin’ down, baby, drown me out (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
You're just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go on forever
You're just like a river

[Verse 2]
Blowing bubbles in the bath, I can't stop from thinking lately
You could be the one, have the honor of my babies
Hope they have your eyes and that crooked smile
Was a desеrt 'fore I met you, I was in a drought
[Pre-Chorus]
Heart bеats so loud that it's drownin' me out
Livin’ in an April shower
You’re pourin' down, baby, drown me out (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
[Chorus]
You’re just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You're just like a river (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
You go on forever
You're just like a river
[Post-Chorus]
You're never runnin’ dry (Oh)

#2. ‘River’ Miley Cyrus Lyric Meaning Explained


Cyrus teased what “River” is about in a clip for her upcoming concert special on Disney+. “It was a time in my life where I was going through just a lot emotionally and personally, and I guess all my songs kind of evolve,” she says. “They can start as something that was a trouble, like, it just feels like it's an April shower. It never stops raining. And then it started raining down like love.”
She also joked about how the song's upbeat feel and '80s vibe may mask its explicit content at first. “‘River’: sometimes we just need a dance floor banger, a.k.a. they don't want me to talk about the fact that the song is about [redacted],” she explains before getting bleeped out.“It's fucking nasty,” Cyrus reiterates. “It's nasty.” That considered, it's a surprise Disney will be broadcasting the song. (Her concert special, Miley Cyrus - Endless Summer Vacation (Backyard Sessions) debuts on Disney+ Friday at 1 p.m. EST/10 a.m. PST.) But with lines like “You're just like a river / You go on forever” and “You could be the one, have the honor of my babies,” one could probably guess what she's alluding to.
Directed by Jacob Bixenman, the accompanying black-and-white visuals are sleek and sexy, featuring Cyrus dancing in a mini dress in a crowd of shirtless bodies in the rain.
