I just want to throw away to get me through today

Nothing real to hold on to, nothing meant to stay

Only till the sun comes up then cast down on the wave

Yeah, I just want to throw away to get me through today

I don't need no fairy tales, I just want a start

A footstep on the lowest rung, a patch on this old heart

Won't you put a compass in my hand, and send me on my way

Cause I just want to throw away to get me through today

Built a house on Lovers Lane and now it's fallen down

Couldn't stand against the wind and built on shaky ground

All I was, I was for her, now since she went away

Would you deny a throwaway, or to help me through today

Could be some way down the line before a day will come

When I have faith enough to say, hey, this could be the one

Till the end of winter comes and the gold kicks through the grey

I just want to throw away to help me through today

To help me through today
