LYRICS
Did you ever picture life like this
No shooting star to grant your wish
Are you everything you hoped you'd be
Or caught somewhere in between
You dropped your nickel down a wishing well
And prayed for luck to cast its spell
To bring you closer to your dreams
That always seem just out of reach
You pray to God the moment when
You feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Has never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Have you ever felt like giving in
Tried for hours but just can't win
Tell yourself you're not good enough
The struggle alone is just too much
No one's there to hear you scream
You gasp for air but cannot breathe
Did you ever think you'd see the day
When you'd watch your life get washed away
You pray to God the moment when
You feel the current pull you in
Try to keep your head above water
Has never been harder
Even when it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Did it ever hurt so bad
That the thought of feeling lost would never end
Well you will think again
Try to keep your head above water
Has never been harder
When it feels hopeless
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, gotta fight from going under
Even when it feels useless to wish
You're gonna get through this
Head above water, never been harder
Tryin' to keep your head above water has never been harder
You're gonna get through this
You're gonna get through this

Been a long time but felt like I needed to share. April 2019 I held in my right hand a bottle of gin and in my left hand a bottle of pills. I had my phone playing music from a random playlist on youtube. This song came on 10 pills in and convinced me to stop and seek help. This song saved my life.

[@Equinoxxxxxxxxx]

I'm glad this song was able to save your life. Its good to have you in the world. I don't know you, but I'm sure those that do are happy to have you here. You're going to be okay. You're going to make it

[@iGotAether]

I hope you're doing better and have recovered from what ever demons you were battling, please reach out if you ever feel the need to not be on this world man. You're way more important than you think

I hope you are all better by now!

They remind me of Tesla in the 80s unfairly Tesla got lumped in to the hair bands when they were really straight up rock. I feel Theory and Shinedown get lumped into the late 200s Nurock scene undeseved

[@erikmeskanen3566]

For tough times. This never loses it's meaning. Timeless.

This song helped me when I was at my lowest point in life. I appreciate all that you guys do, I don't think you guys realize how much your music helps your listeners. I know it has certainly made an impact on me. ♥

As time goes on, many bands' newer songs lose their meanings. Theory stays true to powerful, meaningful songs throughout the years

I am in the same boat as you, even if you posted this months ago

[@foxtwonemesis2641]

Same, found out the memories of a relationship I cherished, meant absolutely nothing to the other. 'Who'd ever think, I'd go and end up like all the other guys you gone and......'

[@synshenron798]

I feel that my guy. A girl I've been best friends since we were little kids says she loves me just the same way I love her. I look at her snap story and I see another guy got his hands wrapped around her and as angry and bitter as I felt I couldn't force myself to throw or hit something but I couldn't cry either. I just sat there thinking just someone kill me please. I can't have the one person I love more than anything, life just ain't worth livin

[@The_Man_Who_Sold_the_World.]

Yeah same, my gf broke up with me last week

[@fukkayuu]

This song is so true. Tyler Connelly is one of the most talented songwriters. They're music is helping me get through the worst time in my life.

[@14x20fan]

So needed to hear this song today... absolutely feel this song deeply.

[@michelleshoffner7976]

I swear this song got me through the loss of my aunt. The anxiety was so terrible. My ex husbands aunt and this song got me through that loss. It's now been a year since I lost that aunt too....now all I got is a 5th of Jameson and this song. God I miss you aunt Kathy and aunt Pauline. It's so hard here without you two. You both were my source of strength and I don't think you either one ever really knew this. My kids keep me going now. I love you both and can't wait to see you both on the other side.

[@AmbiguouslyChaotic]

This song has been helping me not give up during the depression wave I fell into back on December when I lost a very close friend to cancer. I still don't know what to do, I wake up and expect a message but... She can't anymore...

[@TheMetalMilitia144]

I'm so sorry to read that and I'm so glad your staying strong!

[@dakotapoulton3100]

I'm sorry to hear that. My friend passed away last year in september during our senior year of highschool. It'll get better, just have to stay strong till it does friend.

[@InTheDogHouse3DPrinting]

Awesome song. I have heard it on the radio, but have never watched the video till now. It's strange how you hear a song, and have an idea what it's about till you watch the video, and it put's it all into perspective.

[@SugrNSpise]

I love this band and I don't know how Ive never heard this song but Im glad I found it today. This song is on repeat right now and I feel better already. Perfect timing!!

I heard this song last night on my way back up to work to pick up my fiance and I'm amazed I never heard it sooner. The timing of hearing it really couldn't be any better though. Lately I've been feeling completely beat by life with nothing going my way and everything seeming to make things worse. Despite that I keep holding onto the notion that it's only temporary, that eventually it'll pass and things will get better and then this song comes on teh radio. I came very close to breaking down crying. Keep up the amazing work on music guys. You have no idea just how nice it was to hear this song at this particular point in my life. It was like I just instinctively knew the lyrics.

[@foxtwonemesis2641]

Intentionally offensive. How fitting a name here to correlate to mine 8)....I wish all our minds were as small and short sighted as yours....we would feel much better. Someday you shall broaden your perspective, and perhaps your lexicon. The former mans story went too far out on a limb there for you, didn't it?

[@foxtwonemesis2641]

Eidetic ex, the only untrue part of the song is; 'no ones there to hear you scream'. They do, just as loud, and as clear. Everything happens for a reason, it may not be one you like, but nevertheless a reason. The real trick of the wyrd(non.... .....muggles, that's a fitting childish name) is to know: is the reason for you, or just include you and meant for another? The next time, someone tells you of a powerful experience they had, listen to them, and then attempt to find what possible lesson/moral is based upon your knowledge of that particular person(like my retort to you here, compared to one below, why waste your time arguing with a door? Its either open or shut, your is open, the other shut).

jobelbute I'm 18, and yes theory of a Deadman is a wonderful band, but i personally prefer the older stuff, such as Metallica, guns and roses, led Zeppelin, and so fourth, but just like the greats, theory is going to be a classic band one day, and i will listen to them bragging to my grandchildren that they were big in my day

[@aileenseokyu6658]

I've always struggled with a lot of anxieties these past few days, and this song is my only savior. Ever since I was in college, whenever I feel like shit will happen again and knowing that life will play my emotions, I'll just listen to this song and somehow it heals me. It helps me cope with my anxieties and depression. Hoping that people will also discover this song and the band because they were both masterpiece!
