Lyrics
[Intro]
Here we go again…
Another thing, another day
Another version of me saying,
“I’m okay…”
[Verse 1]
Life don’t even let me catch my breath
One thing ends, here comes the next
I keep saying, “Just get through today”
But tomorrow always wants its weight
And I miss me, I swear I do
Sometimes she comes shining through
For a second, I know that face
Then she disappears without a trace
I laugh, I talk, I show up still
Do everything I’m supposed to
But I don’t recognize the girl
Who’s doing all the things I do
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody asks, “What do you need?”
I wish I had an answer
How do I tell you how to save me
When I don’t know what I’m after?
[Chorus]
I’m just keeping my head above water
Head above water
But everything I do to stay afloat
Somehow pulls me under
Head above water
Head above water
I’m either feeling everything
Or I don’t feel nothing at all
And I don’t know, I don’t know
What I need right now
I just know, I just know
I’m tired of drowning out
Head above water
Head above water
I’m trying to keep my head above water
But I’m drowning…
[Verse 2]
Some days I cry at everything
Some days I couldn’t cry if I tried
There’s no middle ground inside of me
Just too alive or dead inside
And maybe I’m still functioning
But that don’t mean I’m living
I’ve gotten so damn good at surviving
I forgot what life should feel like
Don’t ask me where the old me went
I’m looking for her too
I catch her in the mirror sometimes
Then she fades before I do
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody asks, “How can I help?”
Baby, I wish I knew
I can’t tell you how to hold me
When I don’t know what I’m going through
[Final Chorus]
I’m just keeping my head above water
Head above water
But everything I do to stay afloat
Somehow pulls me under
Head above water
Head above water
I’m either feeling everything
Or I don’t feel nothing at all
And I don’t know, I don’t know
What I need right now
I just know, I just know
I’m tired of drowning out
Head above water
Head above water
I’m trying to keep my head above water…
[Outro]
For a second, I feel like me
Then she’s gone again
So if you ask me what I need…
I don’t know yet
I don’t know yet…
I don’t know yet…
Just stay.
