Head Above Water Lyrics By Avril Lavigne

I’ve gotta keep the calm before the storm

I don’t want less

I don’t want more

Must bar the windows and the doors

To keep me safe to keep me warm

Yeah my life is what I’m fighting for

Can’t part the sea 

Can’t reach the shore

And my voice becomes the driving force

I won’t let this pull me overboard

God keep my head above water

Don’t let me drown

It gets harder

I’ll meet you there at the altar

As I fall down to my knees

Don’t let me drown

Don’t let me drown

So pull me up from down below

‘Cause I’m underneath the undertow

Come dry me off and hold me close

I need you now I need you most

God keep my head above water

Don’t let me drown

It gets harder

I’ll meet you there at the altar

As I fall down to my knees

Don’t let me drown

Don’t let me drown

Don’t let me drown

Keep my head above water above water

And I can’t see in the stormy weather

I can’t seem to keep it all together

And I can’t swim the ocean like this forever

And I can’t breathe

God keep my head above water

I lose my breath at the bottom

Come rescue me

I’ll be waiting

I’m too young to fall asleep

God keep my head above water

Don’t let me drown

It gets harder

I’ll meet you there at the altar

As I fall down to my knees

Don’t let me drown

Don’t let me drown

Don’t let me drown

Keep my head above water above water

About “Head Above Water”

On her comeback ballad “Head Above Water”, Avril Lavigne sings about fighting for her life. The song is a piano-driven pop-rock anthem, in which Lavigne tries to stop herself from drowning under the immense pressure from her battle with Lyme Disease, of which she had not been open about for a long time. She also prays to God and makes references to religion.

The song is her first single in 3 years since her 2015 song “Fly“ for the Special Olympics. During her break from making music, Lavigne had an extensive life or death battle with Lyme Disease. She opened up about her battle in an interview for ABC News in 2015 stating "it was literally the worst time of my life” and despite seeing the top specialists and doctors she could, they were misdiagnosing her with depression and chronic fatigue syndrome.

In a letter written to fans weeks before the single’s release, Lavigne stated that she wrote her most personal and deeply song from her bed, while fearfully coming to terms with the possibility of losing her life.

“Head Above Water” was released as the first single from her sixth studio album of the same name. A music video for the song was released on September 27, 2018.
