Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone
|
I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long
|
|
Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions
|
We try to make a difference, do something no one else had tried
|
|
But if you see me walking and you're wondering why
|
Well it's just the business of life
|
If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
|
|
Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known?
|
Am I a foreign presence, someplace that used to be my home?
|
|
So if you see me walking, just a regular guy
|
Well it's just the business of life
|
If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
|
|
And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck
|
The one thing you don't expect is feeling the drop
|
|
Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back
|
I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack
|
|
So if you see me walking, and you're wondering why
|
Well it's just the business of life
|
If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
|

Just Getting By
