[Verse 1]
Had a great seven-year, white-knuckle ride
Killin' time, flyin' high, as I held on tight
To you, to you
Did I blow my mind on the wild side?
Singin' "Hallelujah" to 'em every night
With you, with you

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm not gonna lie, say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been livin' upside down

[Chorus]
What can I say? I'm survivin'
Crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
What can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
My love, my love
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2]
Like a thunder cloud in November rain
Is the black dog out, runnin' wild again
For you, for you?
Tryna stream my way to a better life
But I daydream crash like Vanilla Sky
Do you? Do you?

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I'm not gonna lie and say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been livin' upside down

[Chorus]
What can I say? I'm survivin'
Crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
What can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
My love, my love
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da

[Chorus]
So what can I say? I'm survivin'
Just crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
Oh, what can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine

Bastille

Bastille is a British indie pop band. After releasing a limited single in 2010 and the Laura Palmer EP in 2011, the band was signed to Virgin Records. Following their signing, the band released two mix-tapes – Other People’s Heartache and Other People’s Heartache Pt. 2 — for free. In an interview with The Guardian, Dan Smith discussed the

Someone recently said to ‘The mixtapes were very clever, was that the label’s idea?’ Actually the label were completely against it; we were stealing and sampling illegally left, right and centre. The label ‘We want nothing to do with this.’ When it came to hosting the mixtapes, I had to register the website myself.

Preceding the release of their debut album, Bad Blood, the band released several singles — “Overjoyed”, “Bad Blood” and “Flaws”— to moderate commercial success. In February 2013, the band was catapulted into the charts by the album’s fourth single, “Pompeii”. The song was a commercial hit, going up to 5x Platinum around the world. In June 2014, “Pompeii” was confirmed to be the United Kingdom’s most streamed song ever. Unfortunately, it has since been overtaken.
