Lirik lagu rekomendasi James Bay dari Saya:

1. Hold Back The River
   
   Tried to keep you close to me
   But life got in between
   Tried to square not being there
   But think that I should have been
   
   Reff:
   Hold Back The River, let me look in your eyes
   Hold Back The River so I
   Can stop and see where you hide
   Hold back the river, hold back
   
   Once upon a dear friend life
   We rode our bikes into the sky
   With love we call against the tide
   Those distant days are flashing by
   
   Reff:
   Hold Back The River, let me look in your eyes
   Hold Back The River so I
   Can stop for a minute and be at 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 and see where you hide Hold back the river, hold back
   
   Lonely water, lonely water won’t you let us wander?
   Let us hold each other.
   
   
2. Let It Go
   
   From walking home and talking loads
   To seeing shows in evening clothes with you
   From nervous touch and getting drunk
   To staying up and waking up with you
   But now we're slipping at the edge
   Holding something we don't need
   All this delusion in our heads
   Is gonna bring us to our knees
   
   Reff:
   So come on let it go, just let it be
   Why don't you be you, and I'll be me
   Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
   Why don't you be you, and I'll be me
   And I'll be me
   
   From throwing clothes across the floor
   To teeth and claws and slamming doors at you
   If this is all we're living for
   Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore
   I used to recognize myself
   It's funny how reflections change
   When we're becoming something else
   I think it's time to walk away
   
   Reff:
   So come on let it go, just let it be
   Why don't you be you, and I'll be me
   Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
   Why don't you be you, and I'll be me And I'll be me
   
   Trying to fit your hand inside of mine
   When we know it just don't belong
   There's no force on earth
   Could make it feel right, no wohoaaaa
   Trying to push this problem up the hill
   When it's just too heavy to hold
   Think now's the time to let it slide
   
   Reff:
   So come on let it go, just let it be
   Why don't you be you, and I'll be me
   Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
   Let the ashes fall, forget about me
   Come on let it go, just let it be Why don't you be you, and I'll be me
   And I'll be me
   
   
3. Need the Sun to Break
   
   I'm halfway gone, sleepless I'm battle-worn
   You're all I want, so bring me the dawn
   
   Reff:
   I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
   I'm shaking, all my luck could change
   Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need and
   I hope that I'm not too late, I hope, I'm not too late
   
   Back of the room, how come my friends already know you?
   I feel like a kid, too shy to speak up so I keep it here
   Oh butterflies, you steal my sleep each night
   
   Reff:
   I need the sun to break, you've woken up my heart
   I'm shaking, all my luck could change
   Been in the dark for weeks and I've realized you're all I need and
   I hope I'm not too late, and I hope I'm not too late
   
   
4. Scars
   
   You're setting off, it's time to go, the engine's running
   My mind is lost, we always knew this day was coming
   And now it's more frightening than it's ever gonna be
   We grow apart, I watch you on the red horizon
   Your lion's heart will protect you under stormy skies
   And I will always be listening for your laughter and your tears
   And as soon as I can hold you once again
   I won't let go of you, I swear
   
   Reff:
   We live through scars this time
   But I've made up my mind
   We can't leave us behind anymore
   
   Your hands are cold, your lips are turning blue, you're shaking
   This fragile heart, so heavy in my chest, it's breaking
   And in the dark, you try to make a pay phone call to me
   But you're miles away, you're breaking up, you're on your own
   It's hard to take, I need an hour just to say hello
   And I can't make the truth of this work out for you or me
   And for all the pennies in your pocket
   We barely get a second just to speak
   
   Reff:
   We live through scars this time
   But I've made up my mind
   We can't leave us behind anymore
   We'll have to hurt for now
   But next time there's no doubt
   'Cause I can't go without you anymore
   
   
5. Running
   
   When my heart is ready to burst,
   When the world spins in reverse
   I'll keep running
   To the place where I belong
   When you go, to turn down the light
   No one's here to hold you in the night
   I'll keep running
   To the place where I belong
   
   When you think you're on your own
   I'm still coming home
   
   When our picture fades in the sun
   And all the colors blur into one
   I'll keep running
   To the place where I belong
   When you think you're on your own
   I'm still coming home
   
   When your hope gets blinded
   When you fold with the cards
   No, I'll never stop fighting
   To get to where you are
   
   Wherever we go
   Wherever we go
   Wherever we go
   Wherever we go
   Wherever we go
   Wherever we go
   
   When the lights are faded to black
   Only stars are guiding me back
   I'll keep running
   To the place where I belong
   When you think you're on your own
   I'm still coming home
   When you think you're on your own
   I'm still coming home
   
   
6. Hear Your Heart
   
   Between the streets, before the night I found you all alone
   Shaking tired, but looking lost I came to take you home
   And we walk in silence Side by side
   
   Reff:
   And I-I-I just wanna lay you down your burdens, all your fears
   And I-I-I don't need your deepest secrets whispered in my ear
   'Cause I can hear your heart, your heart
   I can hear your heart, your heart
   
   The window's cold, against your hand
   And outside's just a blur
   I pull you close, you close your eyes
   And we don't say a word
   We've got to keep it ruling, ruling
   
   Reff:
   I-I-I just wanna lay you down your burdens, all your fears
   And I-I-I don't need your deepest secrets whispered in my ear
   'Cause I can hear your heart, your heart
   I can hear your heart, your heart
   
   And we walk in silence Side by side
   
   Reff:
   And I-I-I just wanna lay you down your burdens, all your fears
   And I-I-I don't need your deepest secrets whispered in my ear
   'Cause I can hear your heart, your heart
   I can hear your heart, your heart
   I can hear your heart, your heart
   I can hear your heart, your heart
   
   
7. If You Ever Want to be In Love
   
   Saw you today after so much time
   Felt just like it used to be
   Talking for hours bout a different life
   Surrounding us in memories
   We were close, never close enough
   Where are we now
   'Cause if it's torn we can stitch it up
   Don't rule it out
   Oh no no
   
   Reff:
   I'll come around
   If you ever want to be in love
   I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
   If you ever want to be in love
   I'll come around
   
   Wanted to ask if we could have been
   But my tongue wouldn't break the seal
   You always had something effortless
   At school you were the biggest deal
   Little quirks close and open up
   Time is slipping by
   Always thinking 'bout the two of us
   Replay on my mind Always playing on my mind
   
   Reff:
   I'll come around
   If you ever want to be in love
   I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
   If you ever want to be in love
   I'll come around
   
   We were young, we were side by side
   Don't know when we started losing touch
   If you want we could walk around
   Maybe that would be enough
   Used to talk drinking to the night
   I would wake up on the front room floor
   All along you'd be in my bed
   Make me crazy make me want you more
   
   Reff:
   I'll come around
   If you ever want to be in love
   I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
   I'll come around If you ever want to be in love
   I'm not waiting, but I'm willing if you call me up
   If you ever want to be in love I'll come around
   
   
8. Best Fake Smile
   
   Reff:
   No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
   Don't have to stand there and burn inside
   Oh oh oh if you don't like it
   
   She's working late and making eyes at the door
   She's sick of everybody up on her floor
   She wants the sun in her eyes but all she gets is ignored
   She used to put it out and get it all back
   But now she's slipping trying to carry the act
   She's sweating under the lights, now she's beginning to crack
   
   Reff:
   No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
   Don't have to stand there and burn inside
   Oh oh oh if you don't like it
   And you don't have to care so don't pretend
   Nobody needs a best fake friend
   Oh oh oh don't hide it
   
   No hesitation now she gets up and walks
   She thinks of all the pain and pride that it cost
   She empties all the tip jars and won't get back what she lost
   Outside the window with two fingers to show
   She lifts her head up just to blow out the smoke
   She doesn't have to look back to know where she's gotta go
   
   Reff:
   No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
   Don't have to stand there and burn inside
   Oh oh oh if you don't like it
   And you don't have to care so don't pretend
   Nobody needs a best fake friend Oh oh oh don't hide it
   
   If you don't bleed it you don't need it anymore
   If you don't need it get up and leave it on the floor
   No more believing like it's a voice you can't ignore
   If you don't need it you don't need it no
   
   Reff:
   And you don't have to wear your best fake smile
   Don't have to stand there and burn inside
   Oh oh oh no if you don't like it
   And you don't have to care so don't pretend
   Nobody needs a best fake friend
   Oh oh oh don't hide it
   No you don't have to wear your best fake smile
   Don't have to stand there and burn inside
   Oh oh oh if you don't like it
   Oh oh oh no if you don't like it
