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, 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 is 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 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
No 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Now outdated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 feel better
The only way out is through ultimately
