Hell or High Water Lyrics
- Lyrics
- Meaning
[Verse 1]
Is this as bad as it gets or is it gonna get better?
Is this some kind of test or will it be like this forever?
'Cause I ain't ever seen a cloud this dark
And I ain't ever been down this far
Is this as bad as it gets or is it gonna get better?
[Chorus]
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places I can hide
And every day, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself 'cause I can't tell
If this is hell or just high water
[Verse 2]
Is the tide gonna turn or will it keep on rising?
And is it all gonna burn out or strike like lightning?
'Cause I'm fighting and I'm just
Hanging on to any thread of hope
Wondering if I should just let go
'Cause it's killing me to just keep on climbing
Looking for a silver lining
[Chorus]
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places I can hide
And every day, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
So I'm asking myself 'cause I can't tell
If this is hell or just high water
[Bridge]
Oh, will it ever be over?
Oh, am I two steps back or one step closer?
[Chorus]
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kill you makes you stronger
But I'm running outta places I can hide
And every day, it's like the nights get longer
When I close my eyes, yeah, the waves get high
And the flames get hotter
But I'm telling myself 'cause I know damn well
That this ain't hell
It's just high water
High water
It's just high water
