"Head Above Water" lyrics

Yeah
Hmm-mm

Grey skies, rain dripping off the streetlights
London city where the fiends fight for cheap highs
Marge stressing, bills up to knee high
Praying for a break but they're cutting off the heat twice
I don't wanna have to hurt no more
Feeling like my life's gone short, ooh (hmm-mm)
I just wanna get some money, of course

I hide away when I'm afraid
Head above the water in a tidal wave
And keep swimming's all I can say
Cause The Reaper's fucking taking all our time away
But they just say that we're complaining
Love's a drug but I don't know if I can take it
I'm a star boy in the making
And I don't know really what it is I'm chasing

I'm out here and I gotta move smart
Tryna get this money and I'm playing my part
Tryna make a flip, no trampoline schemes
They want you in a system or a cell with no dreams
Or dark days, long nights tryna get right
Pressure on my chest but I gotta fight
Think my heart's turned to stone
Can't stop now, gotta get it on my own 'cause...

Grey skies, rain dripping from the streetlights
London city where the fiends fight for cheap highs
Marge stressing, bills up to knee high
Praying for a break, cutting off the heat twice
I don't wanna have to hurt no more
Feeling like my life's gone short
I just wanna make some money, of course
I said I just wanna make some money, of course

When I hide away when I'm afraid
Head above the water in a tidal wave
And I keep swimming's all I can say
Cause The Reaper's fucking taking all my time away
But they just say that I'm complaining
Love's a drug but I don't know if I can take it
I'm a star boy up in the making
But I don't know really what it is I'm chasing

So I hide away when I'm afraid
Head above the water in a tidal wave
I just keep swimming's all I can say
And The Reaper's fucking taking all our time away, ooh
They just say that I'm complaining
Love's a drug but I don't know if I can take it, no
I'm a star boy in the making
But I don't know really what it is I'm chasing, ooh
