Miracle x James Bay - Hold Back The River

[Remix]


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, I
I can stop for a minute, and see where you hide
HOLD BACK THE RIVER, HOLD BACK
Hold back!

[instrumental]

[Miracle: ]
Yeah! (Mirror, mirror) Upside down!
Look, I know we haven't spoken for so long
I know I've got a missed call on my phone
Meant to call you back, never called you back
End of all of that, and now you're gone!
I mean, I was wrong and you were right
You were right and I was wrong,
The words to the same old song!
And it got stuck on repeat,
And girl, you're my Mona Lisa
And I want you back, better if I can get you back
I can't ever let you be like that
I just can't believe in that
I don't need, I don't need nobody else!
Want you to myself, girl I'm so selfish
Tryina take my boost to rock 'n roll like I was Elvis
Romeo needs his Juliette, I need you like I needed that
My life ain't a mess, I know you've been yourself
First I couldn't see it, wasn't clear like a silhouette
I need you in my life, I'm addicted to your cigarette
Girl!

Hold back the river,
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I, I
I can stop for a minute, and see where you hide
HOLD BACK THE RIVER, HOLD BACK
Hold back!

[instrumental]

[Miracle: ]
I don't wanna see you cry
No, I don't wanna see you cry
And I don't wanna say goodbye
No, I don't wanna...
I know I know I know I know I know I messed up
Why you think I got dressed up?!
Went to your house in the middle of the night
For a fight, and that's messed up
I'm not tryina be your ex girl,
I'm tryina be your next, girl
You know what we've got somethin' special
So act like I never left, girl
I promise it won't be the same, I can change
You won't feel no pain,
I know I'm to blame, I know I'm to blame
Just do me one thing, hold back all the tears
Think 'bout all them years, everything we did,
I need you to forgive, 'cause you know Romeo needs his Juliette
I need you like I needed that
My life ain't a mess, I know you've been upset
All the pain I caused you can affect
Let's go together like the letters in the alphabet

Hold back the river,
Let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I, I
I can stop for a minute, and see where you hide
HOLD BACK THE RIVER, HOLD BACK
Hold back!

[Miracle: ]
I don't wanna see you cry
No, I don't wanna see you cry
And I don't wanna say goodbye
No, I don't wanna...

[instrumental]
