Verse Troubles on the wild mind Questions in the sleepless nights Answers that we design Only come in mays and mights Pre-Chorus This tide gets you down But swim up now, refuse to drown There's so much to learn You've just got to wait your turn And when you think you've seen it all.. Chorus Every time you look around Life is gonna try to keep you down Every time you look away Someone's gonna come lead you astray With the flick of a wrist And the wink of an eye With the twist of a tail On the roll of a die But keep your head held high.. Head high! Instrumental (x3) Verse Just because they told you so That doesn't make it true Sometimes the only sure things are The instincts inside of you Pre-Chorus And time ain't your friend Beauty always has to end It's fine to be scared We get here so unprepared And when you think you've seen it all.. Chorus Every time you look around Life is gonna try to keep you down Every time you look away Someone's gonna come lead you astray With the flick of a wrist And the wink of an eye With the twist of a tail On the roll of a die But keep your head held high.. Instrumental Bridge And I know it's hard to crack a smile sometimes The panic drills its way into your mind But don't lay down Don't lay down Chorus Every time you look around Life is gonna try to keep you down Every time you look away Someone's gonna come lead you astray With the flick of a wrist And the wink of an eye With the twist of a tail On the roll of a die But keep your head held high.. Keep your head held high.. Head high! Outro (x3)
