| James Bay – Hold Back The River Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| I took the analogy of the river as the passage of time. And as he's recalling instances of time past they can't get back, and relenting on wasted time that he wanted back, I would say hold back the river means stop time. I take this song as a prayer or a plea to the universe, to just give him a few more minutes and given the rest of this song I Believe it's because he's at the deathbed of that person that he loves as they are passing and all he really wants is just a couple more minutes. | |
