"Life Vest" lyrics

My mama told me
To have faith
Ya I'm gonna float
I got this jacket on
It maybe can save me
At least I'm not lazy
I can take it off

Every time I turn around
There's been some distance made
Pick it up and put it down
Too much is no good

I'm stepping gingerly
Come be a friend to me
Let's put these stills into motion
Oh ya

And oh
It's a short life and you've got to live
And you know oh
Hold on for dear life ya
We just have each other

Yeah
Don't be like that
Call me right back
Just a night cap
And I need a hug
All the distance
Too much business
And I miss this
The sisterhood

I'm making strides on my own
But what for if I'm all alone
I want my family to hold
And let the waves just rock the boat

But every time I turn around
There's been some distance made
Pick it up and put it down
Too much is no good

It's not a mystery
Reliving history
Let's flip the script and remold it

And oh
It's a short life and you've got to live
And you know oh
Hold on for dear life ya
We just have each other

And oh
It's a short life and you've got to live
And you know oh
Hold on for dear life ya
We just have each other

Hold on for dear life you're floating by
Hold on for dear life you've got to try
Hold on for dear life you're floating by
Hold on for dear life you've got to try
