## Lyrics

Been traveling these wide roads for so long

My heart's been far from you

10,000 miles gone

Oh, I wanna come near and give you

Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

In my darkness I remember

Momma's words reoccur to me

"Surrender to the good Lord

and he'll wipe your slate clean"

Take me to your river

I wanna go

I'll go on

Take me to your river

I wanna know

Tip me in your smooth waters

I'm going as a man with many crimes

Come up for air

As my sins flow down the Jordan

Oh, I wanna come near and give you

Every part of me

But there's blood on my hands

And my lips aren't clean

Take me to your river

I wanna go

I'll go on

Take me to your river

I wanna know

I wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Wanna go, wanna go, wanna go

Wanna know, wanna know, wanna know

Ooh, take me to your river

I wanna go

Oh, Lord, please let me know

Take me to your river

I wanna know

She comes late to school to talk to her sponsor, Leslie, who asks Olivia to find the source of the problem. She talks to Layla, and she tells her that she needs to tell her family how she's feeling. She does that and tells her parents that she feels invisible. She says that they're always so focused on the future, that it's almost as if they don't see or care about the present, which is where she is. Also, even after she got back from rehab, they still didn't pay attention to her, and despite it being what she needed, it wasn't all that she needed. She says that ever since she got back from rehab Spencer was the only person who asked if she was really okay. They all just assumed that she was and moved on.
