Hold Back The River (Original Session)
James Bay
3:42From walking home and talkin' loads To seein' shows in evening clothes with you From nervous touch to getting drunk To stayin' up to wakin' up with you But now we're sleepin' near the edge Holdin' somethin' we don't need And this delusion in our heads Is gonna bring us to our knees So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me From throwing clothes across the floor To teeth and claws and slammin' doors with you If this is all we're livin' for Why are we doin' it, doin' it, doin' it anymore? I used to recognize myself It's funny how reflections change When we're becoming something else I think it's time to walk away So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me Tryna fit your hand inside of mine When we know it just don't belong No force on earth could make it feel right, oh, whoa Tryna push this problem up the hill When it's just too heavy to hold I think now's the time to let it slide So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Let the ashes fall Forget about me So come on, let it go Just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? Everything that's broke Leave it to the breeze Why don't you be you, and I'll be me? And I'll be me
