Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been dreaming of you and a bottle
No one leaving till we hit the bottom
Fade into me again
Fade into me again
[Verse 2]
I've been thinking of nights on the river
Slowly sinking, how I'm gonna miss him
Fade into me again
Fade into me again
[Verse 3]
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
[Verse 4]
I've been feeling the weight of the water
Drowning, deep end, have we hit the bottom?
Fade into me again
Fade into me again
[Verse 5]
I've been thinking of nights on thе river
Slowly sinking, how I'm gonna miss him
Fade into me again
Fadе into me again
[Verse 6]
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
[Verse 7]
Keep your head above water
Keep your head above water
Keep your head above
[Verse 8]
I've been thinking of nights on the river
Slowly sinking, how I'm gonna miss him
Fade into me again
Fade into me again
[Verse 9]
Nights on the river
Nights on the river
Nights on the river
[Verse 10]
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
[Verse 11]
Keep your head above water
Keep your head above
Keep your head above
Keep your head above water
