When I get up she swears that she don't hear it Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse I comb my hair and throw some water on my face And back out of the stillness of our house Dishwater days She says she doesn't notice Nothing's changed but the sadness in her eyes Maybe it's something that I could have prevented Or maybe the whole damn dream was just a lie Or maybe it's the getting by Maybe it's the getting by It'd swallow up your every step Boy, if it could But maybe it's the stuff it takes To get up when the morning breaks And hold on (hold on) Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on Till the getting's good? Ya know I believe Ya know I can't deny it But people were told they'd prosper in this land Still I know some who've never seen the ocean Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand They got their treasure laying way up high But when I look up, all I see is sky Can you tell me Can you tell me why? Can you tell me Can you tell me why? Can you tell me Can you tell me why? When I look up all I see is sky When I look up all I see is sky, sky When I look up all I see is sky, sky Mother can you tell me why, why When I look up, all I see is sky, sky? When I look up, all I see Maybe it's the getting by Maybe it's the getting by It'd swallow up your every step Boy, if it could You know it would You know it But maybe it's the stuff it takes To get up when the morning breaks And hold on (hold on) Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on Till the gettin's good? Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on (hold on) Can you hold on Till the gettin's good? Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on? (hold on) Can you hold on?

Don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut I'm climbing but the walls Keep stacking up Can't keep my mind off of every little wrong I see the mouths are open but I can't hear the song I've done my best to fill 'em But the cracks are starting to spread Hey, I won't blame you baby Go on, turn your head But don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut I'm climbing but the walls Keep stacking up I can't keep pretending this next stop isn't mine The truth is on the table, and someone's gotta sign I've done my best defending But the punches are starting to land I'm sliding into something You won't understand Don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut I'm climbing but the walls Keep stacking up Don't give up on me 'Cause I'm just in a rut I'm climbing but the walls Keep stacking up So I'm handing you a memory I hope you understand That steadily reminds you Of who I really am This city's always breathing I wish that it would die The kickbacks and the bachelors The fever from the velvet rope The money from my mother's men I'm not like her, you're not like them I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb I'll climb and I'll climb Oh but don't you give up on me (Don't you give up, don't you give up) Don't you give up on me (Don't you give up, don't you give up) Don't you give up on me (I'll climb and I'll climb, and I'll climb and I'll climb) (Don't you give up, don't you give up) Don't you give up on me (I'll climb and I'll climb, and I'll climb and I'll climb) (Don't you give up, don't you give up) Don't give up on me I'm just in a rut

She's reaching for her backpack Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus She's seating on a secret She didn't ask for, no girl ever did There's a whisper in her heartbeat She can hear it just enough to keep her alive But she's breathing in the blowback There's nothing you can offer she ain't already tried But she's breathing in the blowback Born into poor white trash and always type-cast But she's gonna break out, boy, you better know that It's just a matter of time, she fights back (Breathing again) Breathing in the blowback She is sucking on a tic-tac A good man is a mystery, she's looking for clues Whoa, you better check that, buddy 'Cause the blacktop's burning up what's left of the fuse She knows where she comes from Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again It's like breathing in the blowback It's a hijack, now how much sure are you willing to spend? But she's breathing in the blowback Born into poor white trash and always type-cast But she's gonna break out, boy, you better know that It's just a matter of time, she fights back (Breathing again) Breathing in the blowback (Breathing in the blowback) Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags (Breathing in the blowback) She's gonna break out, boy, you better know that Can you cast out a demon? Can you wrangle the wind? Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?

Come with me We took a back road We're gonna look at the stars We took a backroad in my car Down to the ocean It's only water and sand And in the ocean we'll hold hands But I don't really like you Apologetically dressed in the best Put on a heartbeat glide Without an answer The thunder speaks for the sky And on the cold wet dirt I cry And on the cold wet dirt I cry Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural A cinematic vision ensued Like the holiest dream There's someone calling An angel whispers my name But the message relayed is the same "Wait 'til tomorrow, you'll be fine" But it's gone to the dogs in my mind I always hear them when the dead of night Comes calling to save me from this fight But they can never wrong this right Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural (Never had a lover) I never had a lover (Never had soul) I never had soul (Never had a good time) and I never had a good time (Never got cold) I never got gold Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural Don't you wanna swim with me? Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural Don't you wanna come with me? Don't you wanna feel my bones on your bones? It's only natural Come and take a swim with me Don't you wanna feel my skin on your skin? It's only natural
