Keep Your Head Up by Ben Howard

I spent my time, watching
The spaces that have grown between us
And I cut my mind
On the second best
(Oh) the scars that come with the greenness
And I gave my eyes to the boredom
Still the seabed wouldn't let me in
And I try my best to embrace the darkness
In which I swim

Now walking back
Down this mountain
The strength of a turnin' tide
(Oh) the wind so soft, and my skin
Yeah, the sun so hot upon my side
(Oh) lookin' out at this happiness
I searched for between the sheets
(Oh) feelin' blind, I realize
All I was searchin' for, was me

(Oh oh oh) all I was searchin' for was me

(Oh) yeah
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong

No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set
Keep your hair long
(Oh) my, my darling
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
(Na oh no no)
Keep your mind set in your ways

Keep your heart strong

Now I saw a friend of mine
The other day
And he told me that my eyes were gleaming
(Oh) I said I'd been away
And he knew...
(Oh) he knew the depths I was meaning
And it felt so good
To see his face
All the comfort invested in my soul
(Oh) to feel the warmth
Of his smile
When he said "I'm happy to have you home"

(Oh oh oh)
I'm happy to have you home
(Oh) yeah
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set
Keep your hair long
(Oh) my, my darling
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
No, no, no, no
Keep your mind set in your ways

Well, keep your heart strong

'Cause I'll always remember you the same

(Oh) eyes like wildflowers
(Oh) with your demons of change

(Keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
May you find (keep your head up)
Happiness here (keep your heart strong)
(Keep your head up)
May all (keep your heart strong)
Your hopes all turn out right (keep your head up)
(Keep your heart strong)
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
(Keep your head up)
No, no, no, no (keep your heart strong)
Keep your mind set
Keep your hair long
(Oh) my, my darling
Keep your head up
Keep your 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 wildflowers
(Oh) with your demons of change
