Life Vest

My mama told me to have faith

Yeah, I'm on a float, I got this jacket on

Yeah, maybe it can save me

At least I'm not lazy, I can take it on, yeah

But every time I turn around

There's been some distance made

Pick it up, put it down

Too much is no good

I'm stepping gingerly

Come be a friend to me

Let's put these stills into motion, oh yeah

And oh, it's a short life and you gotta live

And you know, oh, hold on for dear life

Yeah, we just have each other

Yeah

Don't be like that, call me right back

Just a nightcap, and I need a hug

All the distance, too much business

And I miss this, the sisterhood

I'm making strides on my own

But work for real when I'm alone

I want my family to hold

And let the waves just rock the boat

But every time I turn around

There's been some distance made

Pick it up, put it down

Too much is no good

It's not a mystery

Reliving history

Let's flip the script and be more, yeah, oh yeah

And oh, it's a short life and you gotta live

And you know, oh, hold on for dear life

Yeah, we just have each other

And oh, it's a short life and you gotta live

And you know, oh, hold on for dear life

Yeah, we just have each other

Hold on for dear life, you're floating by

You're floating

Hold on for dear life, you've got to try

Try your best, try

Hold on for dear life, you're floating by

Hold on for dear life, you've got to try
