Various Artists - Hold Back the River lyrics

[Verse 1: 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 [Chorus: James Bay] 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 2: James Bay] Once upon a different life We rode our bikes into the sky But now we crawl against the tide Those distant days are flashing by [Chorus: James Bay] 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: James Bay] 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 [Interlude] Hold oho, oho, oho Oho, oho, oho, oho [Bridge: James Bay] 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: James Bay] 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: James Bay] 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 [Bridge: James Bay] Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander Let us hold each other Can stop for a minute and be by your side Let us hold each other
