Hold Back The River Lyrics

Cover art for Hold Back The River lyrics by James Bay

I cannot believe James' songs don't have more comments. As someone who is about to graduate high school and essentially start over with many lifelong friends going in completely different directions, this song connects with me. I think it's basically about holding back the river so we can truly value friendships and reminiscing on his childhood friendships. I dunno, but it connects with me that way.
