Ben Howard - Rivers In Your Mouth lyrics

rate me

(Verse)

Hold it in the river in your mouth is pouring out

Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds

Ye-i know i've been trying so hard to

Keep in time with all of the hours in your day

Hold it in, babe, who let ya out among the crowd?

Not like that, these streets will tear you down

How it is under my skin, how you are

Pictures of all you'll ever be

(Chorus)

Oh, i am not myself today

I am not feelin' okey

(Verse 2)

Hold it in luv, the river in your mouth is pouring out

Water takes the shape of all that it’s around

Ye-i know i been tryin' so hard to keep in time

With all of the sounds that you make

Hold it in, babe, come at you from both sides of your mind

Thick and thin these, walls you’ll always stand behind

Sick and tired, i beg for the world to change

But it don’t i lean on you and that’s the thing

(Chorus)

Oh, i am not myself today

I am not feelin' okey

(Bridge)

And you showed me hope amidst the hellequins in spring

And you told me life was learnin' how to be your friend

(Instrumental break)
