Ben Howard - 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 so hard
To keep in time with all of
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
Now you are pictures of all you'll ever be

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

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 okay

And you showed me hope amidst
The hellequins in spring
And you told me life was learning
How to be your friend
