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
Every time we’re in a rut
This distant grandeur

My tendency to want to do away feels natural
My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable

[Chorus]
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 on toweling-throwing
Every time we’re at a loss, we’ve bolted from difficulty
Anytime we’re still made of final bowing

My tendency to want to hide away feels easier and
The tendency is picturing another place comforting to go

[Chorus]

We could just walk away and hide our hands in the sand
We could just call it quits, only to start over again
With somebody else

Every time we’re stuck in struggle, I’m down for the count that down
Every time I dream of quick fix I’m swaged
Now I know it’s hard when it’s through
And I’m damned if I don’t know quick fix way
But formerly mistreat me silence now outdated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

[Chorus: x2]
