Head under water, heart on the ground Trouble is coming, and sticking around Coming or going, it's hard to tell Threw my last hope down the wishing well Two times a brother, one time a son Three times a father, and master of none I keep on tryin' the best that I can My head under water, my heart in the sand I believe I was made for such a time as now I might not know what, the where, or the how But the world keeps on spinning around and around My head under water, my heart on the ground Mistakes are like taxes, there's more ever year Gotta pay for the big ones, and hide the small ones down here I can't chase perfection, there ain't no place that high My head under water, my heart in the sky I believe I was made for such a time as now I might not know what, the where, or the how But the world keeps on spinning around and around My head under water, my heart on the ground My head under water, my heart on the ground My head under water, my heart on the ground
