Rivers in Your Mouth Lyrics

Hold it in, the river in your mouth is pouring out
Water takes the shape of all that it surrounds
Yeah I know, I've been trying too hard
To keep in time with all the hours in your day

Hold it in, they wouldn't let you 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

I am not myself today
I am not feeling ok

Hold it in, 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 sounds that you make

Hold it in, they come at you from both sides of your mind
Thick and thin, these walls you'll always stand behind
I'm sick and tired, oh I begged for the world to change
But it don't, it ain't all you and that's the thing

I am not myself today
I am not feeling ok

And you showed me hope amongst the hellequins in Spring
And you told me life was learing how to be your friend

Like his progressive parts.

Think it's about falling in love again. And the two have to drop their defences. How?
