[Bailey Zimmerman - Hell or High Water lyrics]
[Verse 1, Bailey Zimmerman]
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 see 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 kills you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday 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, Bailey Zimmerman]
Is the tide gonna turn
Or will it keep on rising?
Is it all gonna burn
And it strikes like lightning?
‘Cause I’m fighting and I’m just
Hangin’ on to any thread of hope
Wonderin’ if I should just let go
‘Cause it’s killin’ me to just keep on climbin’
Lookin’ for a silver lining
[Chorus]
I know it ain't gonna be no easy ride
And what doesn't kills you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday 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]
O-o-oh, will it ever be over?
O-o-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 kills you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday 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 know damn well
That this ain’t hell
It’s just high water
High water
It’s just high water
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 see 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 kills you makes you stronger
But I'm running out of places I can hide
And everyday 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, Bailey Zimmerman]

It’s just high water
High water
It’s just high water
