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 want 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 stuck in 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it's hard when it's through and I'm damned if I don't know a quick fix way What formerly was treatment, silent's now outdated My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good The only way out is through The faster we're in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 feel better The only way out is through ultimately
