Out Is Through

Every time you raise your voice, I see the greener grass

Every time you run for cover, I see this pasture

Every time we're in a funk, I picture a different choice

Anytime we're in a rut, this distant grandeur

My tendency to do away feels natural, and

My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable, but I know

The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better

The only way out is through, ultimately

The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better

The only way out is through, ultimately

Every time that I'm confused, I think there must be easier ways

Every time our horns are locked, I'm towel throwing

Every time we're at a loss, we've bolted from difficulty

Anytime we're in stalemate, a final bowing

My tendency to want to hide away feels easier, and

The immediacy of picturing another place comforting to go, but I know

The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better

The only way out is through, ultimately

The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better

The only way out is through, ultimately

We could just walk away and hide our heads in the sand

We could just call it quits, only to start all over again

With somebody else

Every time we're in a struggle, I'm down for the count that day

Every time I dream of quick fix, I'm assuaged

Now I know it's hard when it's through, and I'm damned if

I don't know a quick fix way

What formerly was treatment, silent's now outdated

My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now

The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good

And I know

The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better

The only way out is through, ultimately

The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better

The only way out is through, ultimately

The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better

The only way out is through, ultimately

The only way out is through, the only way we'll get better

The only way out is through, ultimately
