☆ James Bay – Hold Back The River

Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I should have been
Hold back the river
let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute
and see where you hide
Hold back the river hold back
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we call against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
Hold back the river
let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute
and be by your side
Hold back the river hold back
Hold back the river
let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute
and see where you hide
Hold back the river hold back
Hold oho oho oho oho
Oho oho oho oho
Lonely water lonely water
won’t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water lonely water
won’t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Hold back the river
let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute
and be by your side
Hold back the river hold back
Hold back the river
let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute
and be by your side
Hold back the river hold
Lonely water lonely water
won’t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water lonely water
won’t you let us wander
Let us hold each other
