[Verse: Noah Mac]
Tried to keep you close to me
But life got in between
Tried to square not being there
But think that I could have been

[Chorus: Noah Mac]
Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and see where you hide
Hold back the river, hold back

[Bridge: Noah Mac]
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other

[Chorus: Noah Mac]
And hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river so I
Can stop for a minute and be by your side
Hold back the river, hold back

[Bridge: Noah Mac]
Lonely water
I said now
Lonely water won't you let us wander
Let us hold each other
