Backstory:
I had this hook, Hard Times and High Waters, which I thought could be cool in a Civil Wars kind of way. So I brought the idea to a co-write with Raquel and Dan and this is what we came up with.
Lyrics:
Hard Times and High Waters
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/ Dan O’Rourke (BMI)/ Raquel Cole (SOCAN)
I know you feel you’re all alone with the crazy in this life
Like troubles are all your own, it’s just your fight to fight
I get that it ain’t easy for you to let me in
But I can lighten up your load, let your lover be your friend
And when the storms comes blowing in again
Chorus:
Hold on
Hold tight
I won’t let you drown tonight
Dark days are out to pull us under
Never gonna be an easy ride
Together we can make it to the other side
Of these hard times and high waters
I know we’re gonna have those days when we don’t agree
When clouds open up and the heavens rain and it’s too thick to see
Bitter winds might fill our sails and we can’t find the shore
But we remember why we love so we love a little more
That’s all we need to get us through this storm
Bridge:
Lying here in each other arms
We Hold on
Hold tight
Love strong
Tonight
