"Get By" lyrics

"Get By"

I'd fly a sign for a bum to smoke
Got a lot of pride to be so broke
Walk away, just make a point
Do anything that you say I won't
'Cause I'm just trying to get by

Set to autopilot self destruct
Want to fall but too afraid to jump
Flip a switch and I'll blow a fuse
Pick a fight just to watch me lose
And I'm just trying to get by

We're obsessed with sex, watch porn for free
No one's concerned about the birds and the bees
We're not angels, not quite machines
Everybody's living just somewhere in between
And I'm just trying to get by

Your love's addiction, I need a fix
Break into your house just to steal one kiss
Climb your wall, jump your fence
I want to cut in but I don't know how to dance
And I'm just trying to get by

People wanna grow old but they don't wanna die
They wanna live forever but they never get it right
And I'm just trying to get by

Oh I'm just trying to get by
And I'm just trying to get by
Oh I'm just trying to get by
And I'm just trying to get by
With you
