Lyrics

Man, I hate nights when I find myself back here feeling like this
I swear sometimes that God had made your lips for me to kiss
But right now I can barely find the
Forest looking for you through the trees
And right now I can barely find the water while I set sail on your sea
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Singing yeah yeah
Seems just a little crazy sometimes in varying degrees
You're like a feather floating through my night skies
Drifting through my dreams
I wish I knew if it was you that I'd been looking for
Across this muddy delta water I'm still wading towards your shore
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Singing yeah yeah
Got a roof over my head but my floor's falling through
Getting drunk every night from talking about you
Yeah, my sea legs beneath me and this weary heart
But I'll keep on rolling (Keep on rolling)
Till I fall apart
Yeah
Trying to hold back a river
May the currents keep and guide you and steer you from disgrace
It feels I'm drifting way too deep every time I touch your face
I find the strength to surrender one last
Time before I close these doors for good
Yeah, do you think you want this heart of mine?
Do you think you ever would?
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
All my love, the love I'm gonna give her
It's like trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Trying to hold back a river
Singing yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
