lyrics

I keep on thrashing
I keep on paddling and splashing
I can’t even tell if I’ll make it now
Getting hammered by the waves as the current pulls me out
Fighting for air and I’m trying to shout
And the water keeps finding its way to my mouth

But I keep on thrashing
I’m full of panic I’m lashing
I’m trying to grab onto anything that I can
But there’s nothing that’s close and it’s too deep to stand
every time I go under I get thrown around
I don’t know where to swim because up might be down

I’m just trying to keep my head above the water
I’m just trying to keep my head above the water

So I keep on thrashing
I keep on fighting but the waves keep on crashing
My lungs and my muscles are on fire now
It can’t be long before I tire out
But I really can’t say cause I really don’t know
There’s an increasing part of me that just wants to let go

Still I’ll keep trying to keep my head above the water
I’ll keep trying to keep my head above the water
