Just Getting By

Just Getting By - Tenth Avenue North

Oh when we were born

When we first arrived

We took it all in

Through innocent eyes

But we got jaded cause the beauty faded

So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky

But we keep comin' up dry

I'm waking up to what's around me

I've lost too much to a fantasy

I'm tired living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

I'm just getting by

Life can take a toll

Everyday demands

So much energy so many mundane plans

So we go digital purely phisical

Hey it's just medicinal

We need to ease our minds

I'm waking up to what's around me

I've lost too much to a fantasy

I'm tired living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

I'm just getting by

I want to be all here now

Wherever I am that's where I'll be found

Staying present even in the fear now

Life with open eyes

Please don't pass me by

Life don't pass me by life don't pass me by

Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye

I'm waking up to what's around me

I've lost too much to a fantasy

I'm tired living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

I'm just getting by

I don't want to just get by
