"survivin'" lyrics

"survivin'"

Had a great seven year white knuckle ride
Killing time flying high as I held on tight to you, to you
Did I blow my mind on the wild side
Singing hallelujah to 'em every night with you, with you?

And I'm not gonna lie, say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been living upside down

What can I say? I'm survivin'
Crawling out these sheets to see another day
What can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine, I think I'll be fine

Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ah-nah-nah
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da

Like a thunder cloud in November rain
Is the black dog out running wild again for you, for you?
Tryna stream my way to a better life
But I daydream crash like Vanilla Sky, do you?
Do you?

'Cause I'm not gonna lie, and say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been living upside down

What can I say? I'm survivin'
Crawling out these sheets to see another day
What can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine, I think I'll be fine

Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ah-nah-nah
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da

So what can I say? I'm survivin'
Just crawling out these sheets to see another day
Oh what can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine, I think I'll be fine

"survivin'" was premiered on September 22, 2020.
"There'd been times when I felt like I'd been in a washing machine and on a conveyor belt at the same time, but when people asked me how I was doing, the answer was always the British cliché: 'Yep, all good, fine.' At the start of lockdown I felt very self-conscious about having written a song that felt relevant when it wasn't intended to be, but then I also think 2020 is the year we all stopped pretending everything's fine," Bastille singer Dan Smith said of the song.
