Above Water

Pleading till it hurts, the need to start over again

The stillness with a burn, remembering how to begin

When will it be my turn, when time and I become friends?

And how will all this work when you know where I have been?

You see, the fire that was isn't here

My heart is hanging onto every fear

Singing the words as I try to heal

This dark and deepest part of me

Trying to hold on

Keep off the ledge, far from the edge now

Wave the white flag, it's time to back down

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Dive in the sea where you can be

And swim in the deep where you and I breathe

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

For all and what it's worth, we rose and fell, but in the end

We learn from how we were, everyone longs to pretend

Drowning in the dark even when the sun touches our face

Reaching for the stars as we look back in the race

You see, the fire inside disappeared

My heart is always out in the clear

Telling myself there's nothing to fear

When the dark and deepest part of me

Is trying to let go

Oh-whoa, keep of the ledge, far from the edge now

Wave the white flag, it's time to back down

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Dive in the sea where you can be

And swim in the deep where you and I breathe

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Oh, the crashing waves

Bury me till I choose to be brave

Oh-whoa, keep of the ledge, far from the edge now

Wave the white flag, it's time to back down

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Dive in the sea where you can be

And swim in the deep where you and I breathe

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Keep off the ledge, far from the edge now

Wave the white flag, it's time to back down

Wake up and set to keep your head above water, water, water

Oh, dive in the sea where you can be

And swim in the deep where you and I breathe

Wake up and set to keep your head above water

Pleading till it hurts, the need to start over again
