lyrics

Hang on to your halo
If it holds you up
If it hangs you high
‘Cause it might bring in a payload
Or it only might let you float
Might only let you get by

Better days have come my way
And better words have been there to say
But now the anchors are rising
And cutting these waters in two
And with all these changes it’s surprising
That the water's still blue
Help me I’m asking the words
That you never heard me say
I can’t do this without you
But didn’t you want it that way?

Tell me you’ve got to sing
Tell me that you’ve got to bring
Yourself to another place
Just don’t let it be your death
To push out breath after breath
That adds up to waste
Don’t let it add up to waste

But hang on to your halo
If it holds you up
If it hangs you high
‘Cause it might bring in a payload
Or it only might let you float
Might only let you get by

Better days have come my way
And better words have been there to say
But now the anchors are rising
And cutting these waters in two
And with all these changes it’s surprising
That the water's still blue
Help me I’m asking the words
That you never heard me say
I can’t do this without you
But didn’t you want it that way?
