Lyrics of Hold Back The River by James Bay
verse
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But it's there that I should have been
chorus
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
verse
Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days are flashing by
chorus
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
chorus
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
hook
Oh, oh-ho, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, ho-oh, oh-whoa-ho
bridge
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
chorus
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
chorus
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
outro
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
Writer(s): Iain Archer, James Bay
