lyrics
Once I believed in true love
That everything worked out for the best
I could see the good in anything
But lately things have changed
Life has dealt me a different hand
No sense in foolin' myself
You can have every beat o' my heart if you want it
You can have every beat o' my heart if you want it
Every dry throat
Every staggered breath
Every sweaty brow
I don't need 'em no more, no more
But if I keep my head above the waves, it'll be alright
You can have every tear from my eye if you want it
You can have every tear from my eye if you want it
Every stomach clench
Every heartache
Every sleepless night
I don't need 'em no more, no more
But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright
You can take every inch of my love if you want it
You can take every inch of my love if you want it
Every nervous kiss
Every one-night stand
Every death-do-us-part
I don't need 'em no more, no more
But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright, yeah
But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright, yeah
But if I keep my head above the shit, it'll be alright
