Head above water
Now the waves have some space in between
And I can see the words up above me
Were just some trite advice that said "Remember to breathe"
Well I guess you got what you're after
If you're after a life on your knees
Everyone just wants to be blameless
To have a place to point, to say "It wasn't me"
And then we rinse and repeat

Afraid to stay and scared to go
Until I found a road where nobody knew me
And my name was just a word that tasted strange
And I finally got to pick what it meant

Take a breath
Clean yourself in the river of time
'Cause somewhere the sky's always falling
And sometimes it's just your turn
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go
Let it go

So now you know the hell
Of wondering if a change is gonna come
It don't mean much
Don't hold your breath
They will just have to save themselves this time
But you (you, you, you, you)
You will be just fine
