Keep your head
Lyrics Zoe Harris  
Music Bobby Sommerstein

When you know what you know, but you don't really know
And it turns out, you don't know anything 
So, you open your mind, and you let in the light 
trying to find if it’s really worth the fight

Keep your head
Keep your head above water
Keep your head
Keep your head above water 

When you're pushing that rock, up the hill 
And it's trying hard to break your will 
Sometimes you gotta pick your battles
Walk away, and never look back

Keep your head
Keep your head above water
Keep your head
Keep your head above water 

So sit up straight and get ready to learn 
If you try your best, it might be your turn
Back to the drawing board my friend 
Looks like you're gonna have to do it again

Keep your head
Keep your head above water
Keep your head
Keep your head above water 

Solo

Keep your head
Keep your head above water
Keep your head
Keep your head above water x2

Let me know what you think! High quality versions soon to be available to buy and stream on all major outlets.

Lyrics:

And the room it split in two
On one side was me and the other you
I tried to reach out for your hand
But it was no good, I lost you long ago
And the battles of me and you
The number of times we said that we were through
This rollercoaster rise and fall
As we engage in this lovers pitfall

But you just blinked and began to forget about our love
How can you cast me aside was I never enough

Chorus:
I've been blinded by the city lights
Bitten hard by its cold lonely nights 
It's no place to be when your love is never around
I see your face wherever I go
On the signs and the posters all over town
I know there's just no hope 
but I'm holding on for one more chance

Thinking is all I can do
I stare at the walls and on the white I see you
A canvas of memories
The times we smiled for what felt like an eternity
But like glass we just shattered all over the floor
Into a thousand pieces, beyond all repair
There's no going back without a miracle
Tell me is there nothing that I can do

You just blinked and began to forget about our love
Is this a storm in a tea cup or is this just hopeless romance? 

Chorus
I've been blinded by the city lights
Bitten hard by its cold lonely nights 
It's no place to be when your love is never around
I see your face wherever I go
On the signs and the posters all over town
I know there's just no hope 
but I'm holding on for one more chance

For you to come home
You to come home...
What happened to this flame lasting forever
What happened to the promise you'd leave me never
I hope you're happy just know that I loved you whatever

Chorus
I've been blinded by the city lights
Bitten hard by its cold lonely nights 
It's no place to be when your love is never around
I see your face wherever I go
On the signs and the posters all over town
I know there's just no hope 
but I'm holding on for one more chance
What happened to this flame lasting forever
What happened to the promise you'd leave me never
I hope you're happy just know that I loved you whatever

A song about a personal experience.  That's all I'm gonna say, other than to recognize the great William Ernest Henly as inspiration for the second verse.
