The Way We Get By - Spoon

It's often tricky just to start your day A whiskey for the evening pain Well, that works for some It keeps them moving on We never buckled to the bleak routine We cuddle with our legs between Well, that's not enough It could be, but not for us We're unemployed, could have avoided it Some get annoyed when paranoia hits You can't resist, but you'll be spoiling this Why not just enjoy it? We just get by Hanging on this ticking time Till both of us start to decline Together we can lose our minds We just scrape through Unconcerned with what others do But if they had the slightest clue Together we'd all lose our cool When I was younger I thought I was meant To have a house in every continent But dreams don't come true They changed when I met you We keep a secret that is plain to see Others work it out when they're wrinkly And doused in regrets Shake those evening sweats We're unemployed, could have avoided it Some get annoyed when paranoia hits You can't resist, but you'll be spoiling this Why not just enjoy it? We just get by Hanging on this ticking time Till both of us start to decline Together we can lose our minds We just scrape through Unconcerned with what others do But if they had the slightest clue Together we'd all lose our cool All lose our cool All lose our cool All lose our cool
