Keep Your Head Up

Fiona Bernadette Harte


Trying so hard to recognise myself
The music is seamless yet I’m here dreamlessly
Choosing doors that I could exit out
And I suppose you’ll do the same

Feeling the stares from across the floor
And lately I’m so shy, so maybe I’ll rely on
The cherry wine to heal a little more
Sometimes I think it’s such a shame

When you hold your head up high
I’ll be walking on the sky, babe
Just wondering how to stay alive
You know I want you, but I won’t wait
And we fix things up to break them down
Smashing our luck to hear the sound
Then pretty soon it’s water under the bridge
And that’s just the way it is
You know I want you but I won’t wait
You know I want you but I won’t wait

Well, now it’s clear that the clouds are coming for you
And I’m such a mess these days
I don’t know which way I’m coming or going to
You know you always know just what to say

When you hold your head up high
I’ll be walking on the sky, babe
Just wondering how to stay alive
You know I want you, but I won’t wait
And we fix things up to break them down
Smashing our luck to hear the sound
Then pretty soon it’s water under the bridge
And that’s just the way it is
You know I want you but I won’t wait
You know I want you but I won’t wait

When you hold your head up high
I’ll be walking on the sky, babe
Just wondering how to stay alive
You know I want you, but I won’t wait
And we fix things up to break them down
Smashing our luck to hear the sound
Then pretty soon it’s water under the bridge
And that’s just the way it is
