Discover the story of the song > Where the River Bends – Matthew Barber

The protagonist is questioning if their current situation is real or just a fake. They wonder if what they are experiencing is what they had hoped and dreamed for, or if it's something completely unfamiliar. They talk about a place they have been before, where the river bends, and how it can be difficult to navigate. However, they express that they are happy where they are now and don't want to go back to that place. They want to stay with their partner and friends and have no need to go where the river bends.
