Tried to keep あなた close to me,
But life got in between
Tried to square not being in there
But think that I should've been

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a 分 and see where あなた hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Once upon a different life
We rode our bikes into the sky
But now we're caught against the tide
Those distant days all flashing by

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a 分 and be によって your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a 分 and see where あなた hide
Hold back the river, hold back

Oh, oho, oho, oho, oho
Oho, oho, oho, oho

Lonely water, lonely water, won't あなた let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't あなた let us wander
Let us hold each other

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a 分 and be によって your side
Hold back the river, hold back

Hold back the river, let me look in your eyes
Hold back the river, so I
Can stop for a 分 and be によって your side
Hold back the river, hold

Lonely water, lonely water, won't あなた let us wander
Let us hold each other
Lonely water, lonely water, won't あなた let us wander
Let us hold each other
