Head Up High - Jay Mixon

Where were you when I needed heat? I'm frozen! Gotta get myself up And believe I'm broken Swim forward, we're underwater She took your breath away Tell me, love Thought you said you'd die for me?! No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore Nothing to shame's gonna strain myself, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day's gonna hold my head up high Higher higher higher (my head up), Higher higher higher (my head up), Higher higher higher (my head up), Higher higher higher higher higher One day was all it took for us, to fall apart Ship sinking with my heavy heart Come rescue us! I stay strong, bite them word son my tongue Lights flash, you walk away Laughs will be, got no room for hating me No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore Nothing to shame's gonna strain myself, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day's gonna hold my head up high Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher higher higher All these times I told myself Inseparable, but the time will tell Nothing is said in stone I left when in control All these nights I beg for rest Spend it in two in wilderness Nothing is said in stone Turn my back, hit the road. No heavy rain's gonna hold me down anymore Nothing to shame's gonna strain myself, oh no Another day I'm the shine in your eyes Another day's gonna hold my head up high Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher (my head up) Higher higher higher higher higher

How it rambles 'round the moon A let-go-of balloon Nothing is forever, everything is soon And my father as he stands A perfect cartoon man Heavy-sighed and open-eyed, I heard him speak Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Rise it up, it's fine terrain The time will come again And misery's no rest for weary gentlemen See that humankind is you Like all the rest, down to The scratches on the album that you're singing to Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Through the light and through the shadow I won't wait it out, wait it out Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Biting clovers in the lawn A solitary fawn Underground, the new life thunders up and on

I've been searching for something different And I think I found it through this noise Listen to me and find your voice 'Cause there is a feeling in this place Hold your head up high We can decide to forget what they say Hold your hands up high 'Cause you and I will find our way I'm not trying to lead you on But I've got something that you might want Singing a lot of feeling in your chest 'Cause there's a feeling in this place Hold your head up high We can decide to forget what they say Hold your hands up high 'Cause you and I will find our way Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Hold your head up high Hold your head up high We can decide to forget what they say Hold your hands up high 'Cause you and I will find our way

Hey I'm under pressure, underpaid, and working overtime I mix the pleasure with the pain, I make it rain at night Ooh-ooh, no one said it would be easy Ooh-ooh, even if you don't believe me Even on my darkest days I get knocked down but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Stuck on the ground but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Keeping my head up, head up high Keeping my head up, head up I got a headache and a heartache but it's summertime I'm running circles tryna find another finish line Plug in that power system, light up that optimism Even on my darkest days I get knocked down but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Stuck on the ground but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Keeping my head up, head up high Keeping my head up, head up Keeping my head up, head up Ooh-ooh, no one said it would be easy Ooh-ooh, even if you don't believe me Even on my darkest days I get knocked down but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Stuck on the ground but I just keep my head up high, high, high Oh, high, high, high Keeping my head up, head up high Keeping my head up, head up Keeping my head up, head up

This is for the goodbyes And what's left unwritten for every tear that I cried And every time I tried But nothing compares to you And I think it never will Well if I'm telling the truth I don't think he ever will do Ouhhh, I think I'm a little bit high (Little bit high) Ouhhh, wish that you could meet me in the sky (Wish you could meet me in the sky) Oh Ouhhh, I think I'm a little bit high Oh Ouhhh, didn't take the time to say goodbye And I wish you goodnight Have a good life Have a good laugh Find a good love Have a new adventure And I hope you feel better I hope you fill the void that was missing I hope you find the love I have given to you Ouhhh, I think I'm a little bit high (Little bit high) Ouhhh, wish that you could meet me in the sky (Wish you could meet me in the sky) Oh Ouhhh, I think I'm a little bit high Oh Ouhhh, didn't take the time to say goodbye Ohhh Ohhh Ouhhhh huh huh Oh, Oh, Oh, come on I think I'm a little bit high Wish that you could meet me in the sky You didn't take the time to say goodbye Yeah I think that I'm a little bit high
