Banks Live by NEEDTOBREATHE Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I wanna be there when the voices in your head
Are loud enough to make you lose your mind
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
Or I could stay or I could come
No matter where you're coming from
I could be the one to let you choose
[Chorus]
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
(Woah)
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah)
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
[Post-Chorus]
I'll be the banks for your river
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?
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
It doesn't matter if we win or lose
I could stay or I could come
No matter where you're coming from
As long as I can flow along with you
[Chorus]
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
(Woah)
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah)
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to your river
[Post-Chorus]
I'll be the banks for your river
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
Baby, when the current gets strong
And you need somewhere to rest your bones
I wanna be there for you
I wanna be strong for you, woah
[Chorus]
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
(Woah)
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah)
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to your river
(Woah)
[Outro]
(I'll be the banks for your river, woah)
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
(I'll be the banks for your river, woah)
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
[Spoken Outro]
If you would welcome out Chelsea and Laura on the strings
Yeah
We, uh, we wrote this song a long time ago, probably ten years ago or so and we've only played it four or five time since
And, um, part of the reason, is we didn't have any strings playin' with us
And it just felt wrong to do it that way
And, uh, I have no idea what other, other reasons would be, um
This song means a lot to us, probably our number one, in my opinion, requested song
Like, "Man, why don't you play that, just be cool and play that"
So, here it goes and it's called "Garden"
I wanna be there when the voices in your head
Are loud enough to make you lose your mind
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
Or I could stay or I could come
No matter where you're coming from
I could be the one to let you choose
[Chorus]
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
(Woah)
And if you ever feel like you are not enough
I'm gonna break all your mirrors
(Woah)
I wanna be there when the darkness closes in
To make the truth a little clearer
(Woah)
I wanna hold you close but never hold you back
Just like the banks to the river
[Post-Chorus]
I'll be the banks for your river
I'll be the banks for your river
