We Will Get By:
Once that day, it finally comes
What will there be left to wait on?
Sworn by seconds, your patient heart
Takes its time, keeps your breath short
For all the miles this state has held
It’s never been enough to keep you here
Besides anyone can tell you that
It’s better to leave than to get left
We will get by
We don’t have to try
Just to get by
Once that love, it finally leaves
What thoughts are worth enough to keep?
When all your patience wears is thin
How can you dress your heart any different?
For all the sights your eyes have claimed
There was never enough beauty to make you stay
And besides anyone can tell you that
It’s better to sale before the bottom drops out
We will get by
We don’t have to try
Just to get by
