Keeping our heads above water


Under the football lights
She looked me in the eye
She grabbed my sleeve and said, "Believe, I'm going down tonight"

We felt it on our skin
Walking against the wind
Romeo and Juliet, they said we couldn't win

She don't know how she can win
She don't know where to begin
She's looking out for a friend
She's calling out in the darkness

Keeping our heads above water
Trying to learn how to swim
Saying you're all I got just to breathe again

Feeling the world and the weight of its shadow
Saying we're too young to fight this battle
Taking all your love to believe again

We climbed up to the heights
So scared we felt alive
We talked till dawn, I tried to tell a joke, it made you cry

Too young to be alone
Too old to feel at home
Under the stars, who we are and all that we don't know

She don't know how she can win
She don't know where to begin
She's looking out for a friend
She's calling out in the darkness

Keeping our heads above water
Trying to learn how to swim
Saying you're all I got just to breathe again

Feeling the world and the weight of its shadow
Saying we're too young to fight this battle
Taking all your love to believe again

I watched you fall asleep
Right there on my sleeve
I wrapped my jacket around your shoulders
And I felt your breath

If I could set you free
Take you away with me
But I just drove you home
And watched you go

'Cause I was only seventeen
Chasing a basement dream

And we were keeping our heads above water
Trying to learn how to swim
Saying you're all I got just to breathe again

Feeling the world and the weight of its shadow
Saying we're too young to fight this battle
Taking all your love to believe again

It's taking all your love to believe again

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
