about

This song was inspired by u/jdb12. His friend has been struggling with a lot of the pressures and sadness that come with being a teenager and he wanted a song to help her through it all.

lyrics

The water is rising up to your neck.
Your heart an anchor and you're full of regret.
And I'm trying to save you
before you drown in what's left.

You wake up each morning blinded by the sun.
You hear newscasters talking because the TV is on
from the night before because you can't go to sleep without the voice of someone
to drown out your own.

And do you believe that something is wrong?
Have you been hurting for so long?
I can't wait anymore while your happiness disappears.

I want to make you happy so I wrote this song for you.
And if this doesn't work, a pizza or kittens should do;
because the world needs your smile, and you know that I do too.

I know school is painful, but it will all be worth it soon.
Your dad truly does mean well, even if you think he's a loon.
He just wants you to do well for yourself and you know that I do too.
