Keep Your Head Up
Ben Howard
I spent my time watchin' the spaces that have grown between us
And I cut my mind on second best or the scars that come with the greeness
And I gave my eyes to the boredom, still the seabed wouldn't let me in
And I tried my best to embrace the darkness in which I swim
I'm walkin' back down this mountain
With the strength of a turnin' tide
Oh, the wind's so soft on my skin
The sun so hard upon my side
Oh, lookin' out at this happiness
I search for between the sheets
Oh, feelin' blind and realize
All I was searchin' for was me
Ooh, all I was searchin' for was me
Keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set, keep your hair long
Oh, my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways, keep your heart strong
I saw a friend of mine the other day
And he told me that my eyes were gleamin'
Oh, I said I had been away, and he knew
Oh, he knew the depths I was meanin'
And it felt so good to see his face
Or the comfort invested in my soul
Oh, to feel the warmth of a smile
When he said, "I'm happy to have you home
Ooh, I'm happy to have you home"
Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong.
Oh, no, no, no, no.
Keep your mind set, keep you hair long
Oh, my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong
No, no, no, no, keep your mind set in your ways,
Keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same.
Oh, eyes like wild flowers within demons of change.
May you find happiness there,
May all your hopes all turn out right.
Yeah, keep your head up, keep your heart strong
Oh, no, no, no, no
Keep your mind set, keep you hair long
Oh, my, my darlin', keep your head up, keep you heart strong
No no no no, keep your mind set in your ways
Keep your heart strong.
'Cause I'll always remember you the same
Oh, eyes like wild flowers within demons of change
