Hold Back The River (Album Version) - James Bay

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 dear friend life

We rode our bikes into the sky

But now we crawl 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

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 oh

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
