[Verse 1]
I've gotta keep the calm before the storm
Aku harus tetap tenang sebelum badai datang
I don’t want less, I don't want more
Aku tak mau kurang,aku tak mau lagi
Must bar the windows and the doors
Harus menghalangi jendela dan pintu
To keep me safe, to keep me warm
Agar tetap aman,agar tetap hangat
Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Ya, hidupku yang aku perjuangkan
Can’t part the sea, can't reach the shore
Tak bisa memisahkan laut, tak bisa menggapai pantai
And my voice becomes the driving force
Dan suaraku jadi kekuatan pendorong
I won't let this pull me overboard
Aku tak kan biarkan diriku terhempas
[Chorus]
God, keep my head above water
Tuhan, jagalah kepalaku di atas air
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, ini semakin sulit
I'll meet you there, at the altar
Kan ku temui kau di sana, di altar
As I fall down to my knees
Saat aku jatuh berlutut
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, tenggelam, tenggelam
Don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me drown
Jangan biarkan aku, jangan biarkan aku, jangan biarkan aku tenggelam
[Verse 2]
So pull me up from down below
Jadi tarik aku dari bawah
’Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Karena aku di arus bawah
Come dry me off and hold me close
Keringkan aku dan peluk aku
I need you now, I need you most
Aku membutuhkanmu sekarang, aku sangat membutuhkanmu
[Chorus]
God, keep my head above water
Tuhan, jagalah kepalaku di atas air
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, ini semakin sulit
I'll meet you there, at the altar
Kan ku temui kau di sana, di altar
As I fall down to my knees
Saat aku jatuh berlutut
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, tenggelam, tenggelam
Don't let me, don't let me, don’t let me drown
Jangan biarkan aku, jangan biarkan aku, jangan biarkan aku tenggelam
Don't let me drown, drown, drown
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, tenggelam, tenggelam
Don't let me, don't let me, don't let me drown (Keep my head above water, above water)
Jangan biarkan aku, Jangan biarkan aku, Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam (Jaga kepalaku di atas air)
[Bridge]
And I can't see, in the stormy weather
Dan aku tak bisa melihat, dalam cuaca badai
I can't seem, to keep it all together
Aku tak bisa, untuk menjaganya tetap bersama
And I, I can't swim, the ocean, like this forever
Dan aku, aku tak bisa berenang, lautan, seperti ini selamanya
And I can't breathe
Dan aku tak bisa bernapas
[Refrain]
God, keep my head above water
Tuhan, jagalah kepalaku di atas air
I lose my breath, at the bottom
Aku kehabisan napas, di bawah
Come rescue me, I'll be waiting
Selamatkan aku,aku akan menunggu
I'm too young to fall asleep
Aku terlalu muda tuk tertidur
[Chorus]
God, keep my head above water
Tuhan, jagalah kepalaku di atas air
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam, ini semakin sulit
I'll meet you there, at the altar
Kan ku temui kau di sana, di altar
As I fall down to my knees
Saat aku jatuh berlutut
[Outro]
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam(Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam(Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam)
Don't let me drown (Don't let me, don't let me drown)
Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam(Jangan biarkan aku tenggelam)
Keep my head above water, above water
Jaga kepalaku di atas air, di atas air
