just keep your head above...

i need to remember to swim...

you gotta swim
swim for your life
swim for the music that saves you
when you're not so sure you'll survive
you gotta swim
swim when it hurts
the whole world is watching
you haven't come this far
to fall off the earth
the currents will pull you
away from your love
just keep your head above

i found a tidal wave
begging to tear down the dawn
memories like bullets
they fired at me from a gun
cracking me open yeah
i swim to brighter days
despite the absence of sun
choking on salt water
i'm not giving in
i swim

you gotta swim
swim in the dark
there's an ocean to drift in
feel the tide shifting away from the spark
yeah you gotta swim
don't let yourself sink
just follow the horizon
i promise you it's not as far as you think
the currents will drag us away from our love
just keep your head above
just keep your head above
swim
just keep your head above
swim, swim
just keep your head above
swim

nowhere to hide...

give me something to believe in.
so write it down,
i don't think that i'll close my eyes
'cause lately i'm not dreaming
so what's the point in sleeping?
it's just that at night,
i've got nowhere to hide.

to the sleepless, this is my reply:
i will write you a lullaby,
a lullaby.

the resolution...

there's a lot that i don't know,

there's a lot that i'm still learning.
when i think i'm letting go, i find my body, it's still burning.
AND YOU HOLD ME DOWN.
and you've got me living in the past,
come on and pick me up, somebody clear the wreckage from the blast...

yeah i'm alive.
but i don't need a witness to know that i survive.
i'm not looking for forgiveness, yeah i just need light
i need light in the dark as i search for the resolution.

and the bar's are finally closed so i tried living in the moment,
'til the moment it just froze, and i felt sick and so alone.
I CAN HEAR THE SOUND of your voice still ringing in my ear,
i'm going underground, but you'll find me anywhere i fear...

yeah i'm alive.
but i don't need a witness to know that i survive.
i'm not looking for forgiveness, yeah i just need light
i need light in the dark as i search for the resolution.
i need light in the dark as i search for the resolution...

resolution...

and you hold me down, yeah you hold me down.

yeah i'm alive but i don't need a witness to know that i survive,
i'm not looking for forgiveness,
yeah I'm alive but i don't need a witness to know that i survive.
i'm not looking for forgiveness, yeah i just need light
i need light in the dark as i search for the resolution
i need light in the dark as i search for the resolution
I NEED LIGHT I NEED LIGHT

light in the dark as i search for the resolution
