[Verse 1]
Drowning 'cause I can't hold on
Man, I ain't that strong
I was struggling to keep my cool
Whenever it seems I'm lost
Everything that I had with you
People talking got your ears all foggy

If I was one of them
Maybe I could change your feeling
But you don't listen
And I know you won't listen
So slowly I'm drifting

[Chorus]
Trying to keep my head above water
Trying to keep my head above water, mmm
Trying to keep my head above water, ugh! Hoo, oh-uuh! Yeah!
Trying to keep my head above water
Trying to keep my head above water, mmm
Trying to keep my ... 'bove water, ugh! Hoo, oh-uuh! Yeah!
Trying to keep my head above water, oh!
Trying to keep my head above water
Trying to keep my head above water, oh!
Trying to keep my head above water
Trying to keep my head above water, oh!
Trying to keep my ... 'bove water
Trying to keep my head above water, oh!
Trying to keep my head above...
