    The document contains lyrics for the song "Hold Back The River" by James Bay. The song is about trying to maintain a close relationship with someone but life getting in the way, and wanting to stop time ("hold back the river") to be with that person and look in their eyes. It describes past times riding bikes together that now seem distant. The chorus and bridge sections focus on holding back the river so the singer can stop for a minute to be with the other person and see where they hide.
