[Intro]
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on, hold on

Take my hand
And bring me back, yeah

[Verse ]
I risk everything if it’s for you
I whisper into the night
Telling me it’s not my time and don’t give up
I’ve never stood up before this time
Down is not the way we go
I feel a chance so I know that I can't give in

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, stand up (Just gotta keep on running)
Wake up, wake up (Just tell me how I can)
Never give up
These moments of beauty (drive me insane)

[Chorus]
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more
Forget how we felt about each other
It’s time to get over
Blinded I can’t see the end
So where do I begin?

[Verse 2]
Say another word, I can’t hear you
The silence between us
Is starting to be louder than the word we scream
I take this chance that I make you mine
Taking in the fears I know, and knowing what I can barely say

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, stand up (Just gotta keep on running)
Wake up, wake up (Just tell me how I can)
Never give up
These moments of beauty (makes me somber)

[Chorus]
Just give me a reason
To keep my heart beating
Don’t worry it’s safe right here in my arms
Crying it's time to save the weaker
Reaching for something
So blinded I can’t see the end

Look how far we’ve made it
The pain I can’t escape it
Remember a time when I was on the outs and had nowhere to go
I know now that, no matter how I start I have to play my part
All the way through
So where do I begin?

[Bridge]
This hand I've held tightly
To keep it close to me
I can't let it slip through these fingers I'll hold on
It's away with those old days
Back when I had nothing or no one to lose
I do now

[Chorus]
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy (crazy)
For saying I’ll fight until there is no more (no more)
Forget how we felt about each other
It’s time to get over
Blinded I can’t see the end

Look how far we’ve made it (made it)
The pain I can’t escape it (escape it)
Remember a time when I was on the outs and had nowhere to go
I know now that, no matter how I start I have to play my part
All the way through
It finally begins

Against the Current is a Pop-Rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that formed in 2011. It consists of lead singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/backing vocalist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri.

Initally, they began as a cover band, gaining popularity on YouTube. They set to release a debut EP, Infinity and an acoustic EP containing the same songs. After its unexpected success, the band applied the same formula; they released their EP Gravity and they followed it with an acoustic session with the same songs.

Against the Current’s sound fell more on the pop side of the spectrum when they were signed to Fueled By Ramen in 2015 and released their debut full album In Our Bones.
