Head Above The Waves

You quit the band and got a job

Decided to take a wife then you stood still

And I went on and almost lost my life



No, I don't wanna be in your shoes

And I don't wanna read local news

And though I know, we had the same views

Who's the fool?



Try and keep your head above the waves

Try and tell yourself that you're safe

I know, you do your best to keep faith



So round and round we go, it's a shame

Oh, but you never know

There you go, praised again



Your head pressed against the glass

You always tried to put me down

But I knew that it couldn't last



'Cos I don't wanna be in your shoes

And I don't wanna read local news

And though I know, we had the same views

Who's the fool?



Try and keep your head above the waves

Try and tell yourself that you're safe

I know you do your best to keep faith



So try and keep your head above the waves

Oh, feels so good, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I knew it would

Oh, it just don't mean that much anymore, oh
