head up high

Singer: oh land

where were you when i needed heat?

i'm frozen

gotta get myself up and believe

i'm broken

swim forward

we're under water

she took your breath away

tell me love

thought you said you'd die for me

no heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore

no sin or shame's gonna strain my soul

oh no

another day i'm the shine in your eyes

another day

gonna hold my head up high

higher

higher

higher

my head up

one day was all it took for us

to fall apart

ship sinking with my heavy heart

come rescue us

i stay strong

melt the words on my tongue

lights flash

you walk away

love's so big

got no room for hate in me

all these times i told myself

inseparable but time would tell

nothing is set in stone

carved in wood can't control

all these nights i begged for rest

spin off into the wilderness

nothing is set in stone

turn my back

hit the road
