[Chorus]
Don't run from me, river
Don't run from me river, river
No, don't run from me, river
Don't run from me river, river

[Verse 1]
Look, you can play it cool
Act like you don't care
River, don't be cruel
You're pushin' me away
Don't want to get hurt
So you hurt me first
With the words you say

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you should fall
That's what rivers do
'Cause when you're in love
You don't mind a different view
Things are lookin' up

[Chorus]
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (River, river)
From our love (Run, run)

[Verse 2]
Look, darlin', don't give up
When the water's rough
Where you gonna go?
My heart is your home
Nothin' is as cold
As runnin' on your own
So river, don't you rush

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you should fall
That's what rivers do
'Cause when you're in love
You don't mind a different view
Things are lookin' up

[Chorus]
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (River, river)
From our love (Run, run)

[Bridge]
Don't run from me, river
Don't run from me river, river
No don't run from me, river
Don't run from me river, river
No don't run from me, river
Don't run from me river, river
No don't run from me, river

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe you should fall
That's what rivers do
'Cause when you're in love
You don't mind a different view
Things are lookin' up

[Chorus]
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (river, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Oh river (River, river)
Don't run (Run, run)
Don't run (River, river)
From our love (Run, run)

[Outro]
Oh river (River, river) (Don't run from me, river)
Don't run (Run, run) (Don't run from me river, river)
Don't run (River, river) (No, don't run from me, river)
Don't run (Run, run) (Don't run from me river, river)
Oh river (River, river) (Don't run from me, river)
Don't run (Run, run) (Don't run from me river, river)
Don't run (River, river) (No, don't run from me, river)
From our love (Run, run) (Don't run from me river, river)
No

Charlie Puth

Charlie Puth is an American singer-songwriter who started by making and covering songs on his YouTube channel. His big break came when he was featured on the Furious 7 song “See You Again,” which he had written for a friend who passed away in a similar accident. The song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and stayed there for twelve weeks, becoming the longest-running rap number one along with Eminem’s “Lose Yourself.” The song’s iconic music video was also the most viewed video on all of YouTube for a short amount of time when it passed PSY’s “Gangnam Style” in July 2017.

His first project, The Otto Tunes, was released in 2010, with the title being a play on his middle name, Otto, and autotune. His second release, Ego, was also self-produced and dropped in October 2013.

His major-label debut Nine Track Mind was released January 29, 2016, and lead single “Marvin Gaye” with Meghan Trainor topped the charts in the UK and reached the top twenty-five in the US, peaking at #21. His next single “One Call Away” fared even better, hitting #12 in the US and establishing Puth as a full-blown star as opposed to a two-hit wonder. A deluxe edition of the record was released in November 2016.
