Lyrics

Even When It's Rough
(Word and Music by Thomas Hornig and Jennifer Quiroz)

Verse:

Life is not a block of static
and still
Constantly involved in sadness
until
I realized that sadness doesn't mean defeat
It's something like a river
sometimes rough, sometimes sweet

Chorus:
I'm gonna play in the water
gonna drink it up
gonna dance
gonna swim even when it's rough
I wanna play in the water
Even when it's rough

I'm gonna sing out loud
from the top of my lungs
gonna dive right in
gonna soak it up
I wanna play in the water
even when it's rough

Verse:
Constantly avoiding sadness
and still
Happiness turned almost tragic
until
I realized that happiness won't be complete
without a constant balance between sad and sweet

Chorus:
I'm gonna play in the water
gonna drink it up
gonna dance
gonna swim even when it's rough
I wanna play in the water
Even when it's rough

I'm gonna sing out loud
from the top of my lungs
gonna dive right in
gonna soak it up
I wanna play in the water
even when it's rough

Bridge:
Knowing that things can change
And I will not be the same
there's a peace in that

And I feel so relieved
that I finally see
it's ok to be sad

Solo

Chorus:
I'm gonna play in the water
gonna drink it up
gonna dance
gonna swim even when it's rough
I wanna play in the water
Even when it's rough

I'm gonna sing out loud
from the top of my lungs
gonna dive right in
gonna soak it up
I wanna play in the water
even when it's rough

Even when it's rough, Even when it's rough, Even when it's rough
