Rivers in Your Mouth Songtext

von Ben Howard

Hold it in
The river in your mouth is pouring out
What it takes if
The shape of all that it's around
Yeah I know
I've been trying so hard
Keeping time
With all of the hours in your day

Hold it in
Wouldn't 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
The river in your mouth is pouring out
What it takes if
The shape of all that it's around
Yeah I know
I've been trying so hard
Keeping mine with all of the sound that you make

Hold it in
Coming through from both sides of your mind
Sick and thin
These, walls you'll always stand behind
Sick and tired
Oh I begged for the word to change
But it don't
No, it ain't hold you and that's the thing

I am not myself, today
I am not feeling, okay

And you showed me hope ... in spring
And you showed me life is learning how to be your friend
