ABOVE THE WATER

Stumble in the door, a quarter past three

Drink a little more, but it's not what I need

Achin' in my head, guilty in my chest

And this ain't who I wanna be

I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told me that I was a son

I run from the father, end up workin' harder

To do what's already been done

Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water

Been 80 miles an hour, seven days a week

Livin' off of Folgers and these Earthwood strings

The band needs payin', so the bills'll have to wait

I could use a dart and a little more faith

And I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told me that I was a son

I run from the father, end up workin' harder

To do what's already been done

Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh

If you're listenin', I'm givin' in

Now layin' my guard down

If you'll let me, I'm ready to drown

And I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told me that I was a son

I run from the father, end up workin' harder

To do what's already been done

Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul

Lord, help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water
