Rivers In Your Mouth - Ben Howard
Hold it in love
the river in your mouth
is pouring out
water takes the
shape of all that it surrounds
yeah 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 you out among the crowd?
Not like that
these streets will tear you down
how it is
under my skin, now you are
pictures of all you'll ever be
I am not myself
today
I am not feeling
okay
Hold it in love
the river in your mouth
is pouring out
water takes the
shape of all that it's around
yeah I know
I been trying
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
are sick and tired
oh I beg for the world to change
but it don't
oh I lean on you
and that's the thing
I am not myself
today
I am not feeling
okay
And you
showed me hope amidst the helo queen's
in spring
and you
told me life was learning
how to be your friend
