Above Water

When the light is gone

In the dark of night when the light is gone
When you've pushed aside what you really want
When you spend your time like you're moving on
But there's nothing that helps you stand up taller

When you give it your all but it's not enough
When you keep on falling but not in love
When the days are haunted by what it was
Just try to keep your head above water

Now you're trading late night sunsets for cigarettes
You're running from something real
But now a silhouette of what it coulda been
You're crying out, you're screaming loud
For the world to hear, but no one's around
You're tired out, your head's in the clouds
But the smoke won't clear so you want to drown
Now you're trading kisses and hickeys for a fifth of whiskey
You're drinking quickly chasing the high of a desperate tipsy

In the dark of night when the light is gone
When you've pushed aside what you really want
When you spend your time like you're moving on
But there's nothing that helps you stand up taller

When you give it your all but it's not enough
When you keep on falling but not in love
When the days are haunted by what it was
Just try to keep your head above water

Now you're trading countryside drives for bar fights
You're hiding away in the nightlife
Trying to escape the pain til the sunrise
And you want to know why the world's so cold
'Cause you're all alone on a dead end road
You're a claustrophobe and the door has closed
Was it worth the hurt just to circle back home
Was it worth the hurt just to circle back home
Never could've predicted with your existence
It's an innocent victim in a fate that twisted

In the dark of night when the light is gone
When you've pushed aside what you really want
When you spend your time like you're moving on
But there's nothing that helps you stand up taller

When you give it your all but it's not enough
When you keep on falling but not in love
When the days are haunted by what it was
Just try to keep your head above water

Just keep your head above water
