Hold Back the River Lyrics - James Bay

1 Tried to keep you close to me,

2 But life got in between

3 Tried to square not being there

4 But think that I should have been

5 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

6 Hold back the river, so I

7 Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

8 Hold back the river, hold back

9 Once upon a different life

10 We rode our bikes into the sky

11 But now we call against the tide

12 Those distant days are flashing by

13 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

14 Hold back the river, so I

15 Can stop for a minute and be by your side

16 Hold back the river, hold back

17 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

18 Hold back the river, so I

19 Can stop for a minute and see where you hide

20 Hold back the river, hold back

21 Hold oho, oho, oho, oho

22 Oho, oho, oho, oho

23 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander

24 Let us hold each other

25 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander

26 Let us hold each other

27 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

28 Hold back the river, so I

29 Can stop for a minute and be by your side

30 Hold back the river, hold back

31 Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes

32 Hold back the river, so I

33 Can stop for a minute and be by your side

34 Hold back the river, hold

35 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander

36 Let us hold each other

37 Lonely water, lonely water, won't you let us wander

38 Let us hold each other
