Lyrics to Keep Your Head

Keep your head on. Life - it don’t wait two minutes.
mile after mile marker you’ve walked.
dodging cars like bullets, left then right

it’s hard enough to breathe right,
let alone not getting hit

tell your fool heart to beat again.
paralyzed. fear keeps you down.
(the unknown and the known)

stressed out and tired from dotting i’s
spacing out at the ground with heavy eyes

maybe everyone loves you,
but maybe you’re a ghost

you are a son in a long line.
children of the king, who’s alive. he never dies.
i love you. and i want to hold you close like a lamb.

a broke car window. a punctured tire. that’s me.
a bike’s no way to get to far off places
like austin, texas or jacksonville, florida.
i need some fresh air out on the open road.
i need some time away from my family.
my friends dont want me. i dont like them.
it wont be long before they find me in a diner somewhere.
or locked in my room, it dont matter. i feel like a vapor.
the wind is gonna come and blow me away.
i need them more than i thought.

you are a son in a long line.
children of the king, who’s alive. he never dies.
i love you. and i want to hold you close like a lamb.
to my chest. to my heart. oh my God. oh my child.
