ABOVE THE WATER - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Stumble in the door, a quarter past three

Drink a little more but it's not what I need

Aching in my head, guilty in my chest

And this ain't who I wanna be

I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told me that I was her son

I run from the father, end up working harder

To do what's already been done

Lord help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water

Been 80 miles an hour, seven days a week

Living off of Folgers and these Earthwood strings

The band needs paid, so the bills will have to wait

I could use a dollar and a little more faith

I owе it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told mе that I was her son

I run from the father, end up working harder

To do what's already been done

Lord help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water

Ohh

If you're listening, I'm giving in

I'll lay my guard down

If you'll let me I'm ready to drown

And I owe it to my mama who raised me in the choir

And told me that I was her son

I run from the father, end up working harder

To do what's already been done

Lord help me let go, wash over my soul

Maybe I ain't supposed to keep my head above the water
