Lyrics

Intro

Oh oh oh

Mm hmm mm

Chorus

Keep my head above the water

Trying to make it through each day

Building bridges, moving farther

But it always feels the same

Moving on moving on

Moving on moving on

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Verse 1

Silver lines trace the clouds

High heels clicking loud

Breath held tight behind the teeth

Watch the patterns underneath

My dress hem drags in the dirt

Small price for escaping the hurt

Yesterday stayed where it belonged

Writing the melody of a different song

Pre-Chorus

Trying to break through the gray

Looking for a brand new way

Counting steps on the stones

Finding marrow in the old bones

Chorus

Keep my head above the water

Trying to make it through each day

Building bridges, moving farther

But it always feels the same

Moving on moving on

Moving on moving on

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Staring at the rising tide

Got no more room to hide

Heart beats like a heavy drum

Wait for the morning to come

Sun hits the brick and the wire

Burning like a low-temp fire

Staring straight into the blue

Walking right away from you

Pre-Chorus

Trying to break through the gray

Looking for a brand new way

Counting steps on the stones

Finding marrow in the old bones

Chorus

Keep my head above the water

Trying to make it through each day

Building bridges, moving farther

But it

Post-Chorus

Movin' on (keep it steady)

Movin' on (if you're ready)

Higher and higher

Over the wire

Yeah yeah

Outro

I'm keepin' my head up

Not gonna let up

The water is cool and deep

But I have promises to keep

Oh oh oh

Just keep on movin'

Oh oh oh

Until the tide goes out

Oh oh oh

Beyond the shadow of a doubt

Fade Out
