[Verse 1]
They say, "What you trying for?"
"Don't you know it's been done before?"
I try to keep my spirits holding
And my beliefs from folding
I search for something beautiful
Though sometimes in this world that seems impossible
When it gets to much to take
When I feel I'm gonna break
There you are, there you are
[Chorus]
You keep my head above the water
You keep my shoulders standing up
When I'm feeling down
You keep my mind upon my focus
You keep my heart from breaking
You numb my eyes by saying
"Baby, it's alright"
"This too shall pass, shall pass"
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
[Verse 2]
You look like never before
Your eyes are red, fixed on the floor
And it seems as though
Today has brought just a little too much to handle
But don't cry, dont worry 'bout it
I'll be there, don't doubt about it
See I know, when I've been this low
There you are, there you are
[Chorus]
You keep my head above the water
You keep my shoulders standing up
When I'm feeling down
You keep my mind upon my focus
You keep my heart from breaking
You numb my eyes by saying, "Baby, it's alright"
"This too shall pass, shall pass"
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
[Bridge]
Best friend of mine
Best friend of mine
Best friend of mine
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
[Chorus]
You keep my head above the water
You keep my shoulders standing up
When I'm feeling down
You keep my mind upon my focus
You keep my heart from breaking
You numb my eyes by saying, "Baby, it's alright"
"This too shall pass, shall pass"
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
[Outro]
Best friend of mine
Best friend of mine
Best friend of mine
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
Best friend of mine
How would I last without this best friend of mine?
