Head Above Water Lyrics
Did you ever picture your life like this
No shooting star to grant your wish
Are you everything you hoped you'd be
I got somewhere in between
You dropped your miracle down a wishing well
And pray for luck to cast it's spell
To bring you closer to your dreams
That always seem just out of reach
You pray to god, don't know when
But you feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Have you ever felt like giving in
Tried for hours but just can't win
Tell yourself you're not good enough
The struggle alone is just too much
No one's there to hear you scream
You gasp for air but cannot breathe
Did you ever think you'd see the day
When you'd watch your life get washed away
You pray to god, don't know when
But you feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Did it ever hurt so bad
That the thought of feeling lost would never end
Well you will think again
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
When it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
No shooting star to grant your wish
Are you everything you hoped you'd be
I got somewhere in between
You dropped your miracle down a wishing well
And pray for luck to cast it's spell
To bring you closer to your dreams
That always seem just out of reach
But you feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Tried for hours but just can't win
Tell yourself you're not good enough
The struggle alone is just too much
No one's there to hear you scream
You gasp for air but cannot breathe
Did you ever think you'd see the day
When you'd watch your life get washed away
But you feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
That the thought of feeling lost would never end
Well you will think again
Try to keep your head above water
Cause it's never been harder
When it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this

This is a wonderful powerful song about not letting life get the best of you. It tells you that you CAN get through the hard times in life. Just try and fight and you CAN get through what is trying to pull you down. Thank you Theory of a Deadman. Sometimes I really REALLY need to hear things like this.
if it weren't for "bitch came back", and "we were men" i would say this is the best song on the new album. this is a lot like their song "all or nothing." this is probably one of their best albums.
