[Verse 1]
I wanna be there when the voices in your head
Are loud enough to make you lose your mind
But just the same, when you're dominating the day
I wanna be the one who's by your side

[Pre-Chorus]
You know my love is not the jealous type
It doesn't matter if we win or lose
Oh, I could stay or I could come no matter where you're coming from
I can be the one to let you choose

[Chorus]
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
Just like the banks do the river
(Woah-oh) And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah-oh) I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
I'll be the banks for your river

[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh) Woo-ooh-ooh
I'll be the banks for your river
(Woah-oh) Woo-ooh-ooh
I'll be the banks for your river
[Verse 2]
You are beautiful and wild at every turn
Who am I to take control of that?
But everybody needs a voice they can follow
When the water and the winds get bad

[Pre-Chorus]
You know my love is not the jealous type
And it don't matter if we win or lose
Well, I could push or I could pull no matter what you're trying to do
As long as I can flow along with you

[Chorus]
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
Just like the banks do the river
(Woah-oh) And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah-oh) I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
I'll be the banks for your river

[Post-Chorus]
(Woah-oh) Woo-ooh-ooh
I'll be the banks for your river
(Woah-oh) Woo-ooh-ooh
I'll be the banks for your river
[Bridge]
Baby, I ain't saying that you need my help
But you don't have to do it all by yourself
So baby, when the current gets strong
You need somewhere to rest your bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be strong for you, woah-oh-oh

[Chorus]
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
Just like the banks do the river
(Woah-oh) And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah-oh) I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
I'll be the banks for your river

[Outro]
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
(I'll be the banks for your river)
(Woah-oh) And if you ever feel like you are not enough
(I'll be the banks for your river)
(Woah-oh) I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah-oh) I wanna hold you close, but never hold you back
I'll be the banks for your river
