Keep your head above the waves,
and hold your breath
between the time it takes to save
and all the time you bought
trying to prove you're not
helpless.
You hold that smile and hide your doubt,
and pray to God
that they don't somehow figure out
that you don't know what's real
but you're afraid to feel
helpless.
But I've seen that water line recede.
I felt it bring me to my knees.
You'll make it through.
And I know you're scared and need to breathe,
but let the water wash you clean,
and know that I'll be there with you.
'Cause I've been waiting for the time to tell you
that I'm helpless too.
Close your eyes and let it go.
Face the thought that you might not be in control,
and hold your hand in mine
'cause it's completely fine
that we're helpless
'Cause I've seen that water line recede.
I felt it bring me to my knees.
You'll make it through.
And I know you're scared and need to breathe,
but let the water wash you clean,
and know that I'll be there with you.
'Cause I've been waiting for the time to tell you
that I'm helpless too.
I'm helpless too,
but I'll be helpless with you.
I'll be helpless with you.
