Keeping Our Heads Above Water
As Recorded By The Jayhawks
(From The 2026 Album Sanctuary Park)
Intro
Verse 1
Under The Football Lights
She Looked Me In The Eye
She Grabbed My Sleeve And Said, "Believe, I'm Going Down Tonight"
We Felt It On Our Skin
Walking Against The Wind
Romeo And Juliet, They Said We Couldn't Win
Interlude
Pre-Chorus
She Don't Know How She Can Win
She Don't Know Where To Begin
She's Looking Out For A Friend
She's Calling Out In The Darkness
Chorus
Keeping Our Heads Above Water
Trying To Learn How To Swim
Saying You're All I Got Just To Breathe Again
Feeling The World And The Weight Of Its Shadow
Saying We're Too Young To Fight This Battle
Taking All Your Love To Believe Again
Verse 2
We Climbed Up To The Heights
So Scared We Felt Alive
We Talked Till Dawn, I Tried To Tell A Joke, It Made You Cry
Too Young To Be Alone
Too Old To Feel At Home
Under The Stars, Who We Are And All That We Don't Know
Interlude
Pre-Chorus
She Don't Know How She Can Win
She Don't Know Where To Begin
She's Looking Out For A Friend
She's Calling Out In The Darkness
Chorus
Keeping Our Heads Above Water
Trying To Learn How To Swim
Saying You're All I Got Just To Breathe Again
Feeling The World And The Weight Of Its Shadow
Saying We're Too Young To Fight This Battle
Taking All Your Love To Believe Again
Interlude
Verse 3
I Watched You Fall Asleep
Right There On My Sleeve
I Wrapped My Jacket Around Your Shoulders
N.c.
And I Felt Your Breath
If I Could Set You Free
Take You Away With Me
But I Just Drove You Home
And Watched You Go
'Cause I Was Only Seventeen
Chasing A Basement Dream
Chorus
And We Were Keeping Our Heads Above Water
Trying To Learn How To Swim
Saying You're All I Got Just To Breathe Again
Feeling The World And The Weight Of Its Shadow
Saying We're Too Young To Fight This Battle
Taking All Your Love To Believe Again
It's Taking All Your Love To Believe Again
