Hell or High Water - William Elliott Whitmore

I had to pay my dues I've hit all my rock bottoms I fell right through the roof I swim through heavy waters And life can get difficult, I know, I know it But one thing I know for sure is, I'm still breathing, yeah-yeah I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing Bring on the hell and high water I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still running Running right through the fire And life is but a ride, and the downs get ugly I had to face some monsters But I'm alive, and that counts for something So here's to hell and high water Hell and high water The world tried to take me down I've been thrown off my axis It's chewed up and spit me out My rose colored glasses blackened Far from clean getaways, oh, I'll admit it (mmm) But I'm doing okay, the kid's still kicking, yeah-yeah I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing Bring on the hell and high water I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still running Running right through the fire And life is but a ride, and the downs get ugly I had to face some monsters But I'm alive, and that counts for something So here's to hell and high water So here's to hell and high water Yeah-yeah-yeah I'm falling from the sky but it don't mean nothing Falling from the sky, oh I went and lost my mind but you know I'm still running Running right through the fire Mmm So here's to hell and high water

I wasn't the strong one 'til we were falling apart I promised I'd hold you when everything went dark But god, it's so dark out still feel you in my bed I wish I could hold you but I'm holding my breath instead I hate that I lost you when I'm not lost anymore And I hate that I've got to let go of what I adore And now I'm in high water without you, without you Now I'm in high water without you, without you I'm tired of replaying memories in my head Replaying everything, everything you've ever said I'm holding in pain that never knew I could have Like when you wrote me that note saying I was your other half And I hate that I lost you when I'm not lost anymore And I hate that I've got to let go of what I adore And now I'm in high water without you, without you Now I'm in high water without you, without you High water High water High water High water I miss you so much I miss you so much Now I'm in high water without you, without you High water without you, without you Now I'm in high water without you, without you High water (high water) High water (high water) High water (high water) High water (high water) High water High water

In high seas or in low seas I'm gonna be your friend I'm gonna be your friend In high tide or in low tide I'll be by your side I'll be by your side I heard her praying, praying, praying ooh I said, I heard my mother She was praying (praying, praying, praying) And the words that she said (the words that she said) They still linger in my head (lingers in my head) She said, "A child is born in this world He needs protection" God, guide and protect us When we're wrong, please correct us (when we're wrong, correct us) And stand by me yeah! In high seas or in low seas I'm gonna be your friend He said, "I'm gonna be your friend" And, baby, in high tide or low tide I'll be by your side I'll be by your side I said I heard my mother She was crying (I heard her crying), every night (crying, crying) And the tears that she shed (the tears that she shed) They still linger in my head (lingers in my head) She said, "A child is born in this world He needs protection" God, guide and protect us When we're wrong (when we're wrong) correct us And in high seas or low seas I'm gonna be your friend I'm gonna be your friend Said He, "High tide or low tide I'll be by your side I'll be by your side Yeah, high seas or low seas I'm gonna be your friend I'm gonna be your friend High tide or low tide I'll be by your side"

I wonder how a gap can feel this much How a gap can feel like something this big How it multiplies in my veins And in my blood and home And trigger itself in my thoughts Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh I wonder how a gap can feel this much How a gap can feel like something this big How it multiplies in my veins And in my blood and home And trigger itself in my thoughts I'd like to be your Beautiful hell Your beautiful hell I'd like to be your Beautiful hell Your beautiful hell Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
