[Verse 1]
I've been staring at the dark
Like it knows my name
A tangible regret
Sitting in my veins
I keep one foot on the shore
One foot in the foam
Trying to forget
How far I've come from home
[Pre-Chorus]
But the water learns my shape
And it calls me down
Still I hear a smaller voice
Saying turn around
[Chorus]
I won't go under
I won't go under
Not for this nightmare
Not for this thunder
I won't go under
I won't go under
Even with a heavy heart
I'll learn to recover
[Verse 2]
I been swallowing the night
Like a mouthful of glass
Counting every broken thing
That I let pass
But the morning's in the fence line
And the wheat still turns
Something in me wants to live
Even when it burns
[Pre-Chorus]
I can feel the pull below
Like a colder hand
But I know the shape of hope
And I know I can stand
[Chorus]
I won't go under
I won't go under
Not for this nightmare
Not for this thunder
I won't go under
I won't go under
Even with a heavy heart
I'll learn to recover
[Bridge]
If I sink, call my name
If I fade, pull me back
Leave a light on by the door
On the old dirt track
Let the hurt come, let it rain
I'll still reach for shore
I am not my worst day
I am something more
[Chorus]
I won't go under
I won't go under
Not for this nightmare
Not for this thunder
I won't go under
I won't go under
Even with a heavy heart
I'll learn to recover
[Outro]
I've been thinking of the deep
But I choose the land
One more breath, one more dawn
One more open hand
