Head Above

(album: Here Comes Everybody - 2022)

Pack all my things, it's time to go
Filling my car with everything
Leaving to stop the bleeding
Calling my dad, I'm coming home

I said goodbye at seventeen
How could it ever be the same?
Four hours to feel and then forget
I promised I'd never cry again

My legs start the motion while my head is in the ocean
Ash rolls off the hillside and I loath the gift of hindsight

What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending

You can say it in the morning
I can't sleep, but this is getting boring
I don't have to listen to this
Unless you are gonna tell me sorry

My legs start the motion while my head is in the ocean (head is in the ocean)
Ash rolls off the hillside and I loath the gift of hindsight

What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending

I can see
That it's changing me
To something I don't wanna be
So I'm leaving

My legs start the motion, my head is in the ocean
I've felt this before, why can't I control my emotions?

What did you think would happen?
You turned my fear into a weapon
How did you see this ending?
It isn't love if you're pretending
I can't see this getting better when I'm older
And I still love you if you ask me, but it's been years since I've known what that means
