HEY HO KEEP TIME

HEY HO KEEP TIME HEY HO PASS THE WINE HEY HO LAUGH IT AWAY WE’RE ALIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY HEY HO SING IT LOUD HEY HO WRONG BUT PROUD HEY HO HOLD ON FAST WE’RE NOT DEAD SO THAT’S A BLAST Left the quay before the light Said “one run more” classic lie She said “choose,” I chose the sea ‘Cause noise feels like bravery Boots were wet, the mood was high Gold below and sense denied Captain smiled like this was fine That smile should’ve been a sign HEY HO KEEP TIME HEY HO PASS THE WINE HEY HO LAUGH IT AWAY WE’RE ALIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY Sails to starboard, guns in view Not a song this one’s true Powder burns, the deck goes red Someone prays, someone says “Sing louder.” So we did. HEY HO KEEP TIME HEY HO PASS THE WINE HEY HO LAUGH IT AWAY WE’RE ALIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY Hello… is it me you’re looking for… NOOOO WRONG OCEAN WE’RE HOLDING ROPES NOT FEELINGS What about that one ‘bout sunshine WE ARE SINKING. We ain’t built for borrowed songs Or pretty words or perfect wrongs Our voices crack, our timing’s shit But this mess fits us every bit We don’t sing ‘bout clean goodbyes We sing ‘bout fear you joke to hide About ships that shouldn’t sail And laughing right before you fail HEY HO THIS ONE’S OURS HEY HO SCARS AND ALL HEY HO WRONG NOTES TOO BUT EVERY WORD IS TRUE HEY HO KEEP TIME HEY HO STAY LOUD HEY HO IF WE SINK WE SINK PROUD Wind dies dead, reef ahead Quiet’s worse than what we fled I think of her, I almost speak Take a drink instead of weak If I stop, I start to feel If I feel, this gets too real So I sing not ‘cause I’m brave But ‘cause noise still keeps me safe HEY HO KEEP TIME HEY HO PASS THE WINE HEY HO LAUGH IT AWAY WE’RE ALIVE FOR ANOTHER DAY HEY HO SING IT WRONG HEY HO SING IT STRONG HEY HO THIS IS US NO COVERS JUST THE TRUTH HEY… HO… KEEP… TIME… Sea still mean. Song still holds. Good enough.
