I'm so stubborn, it's how I got here
So alone, feels like forever
Wanna swim away and breath the open air
But I feel so afraid, then I hear you say
Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go
I'm so hungry, how can I stay here?
Starving for what I hold so dear
Like a hurricane it takes everything from me
Wake me from this dream
Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go
Hang on when you are barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go
Three days, thirty years
So hopeless, doesn't matter
Don't say it's too late if you blink your eyes
The sun is rising, the sun is rising, oh
Hang on when the water is rising
Hang on when the waves are crashing
Hang on, just don't ever let go
Hang on when you're barely breathing
Hang on when your heart's still beating
Hang on, just don't ever let go
