"Getting By" lyrics

"Getting By"

Life was ruined through the screen
Burning out as quickly as you chased your dreams
Holding my breath but I keep moving
And I don't know what the hell I'm doing but I still stay

I've been falling too many times
All my wrongs don't seem to make it right
And I get my temper from my father
I'm working hard but not like the others but I still try

So I hold out for the morning skies
And I pray to God that it works out in time
And I hope my family's alright
We weren't the same since the day my uncle died
But we're getting by
We're getting by

And I miss my friends, miss my dog and Pleasant Street
When bigger problems were using fake IDs
They moved on, some getting married
"I found the one" is fucking scary, then I jump ship

So I hold out for the morning skies
And I pray to God that it works out in time
And I hope my family's alright
We weren't the same since the day my uncle died
But we're getting by
We're getting by

When I go leave a spot out in the light
And I pray to God that I'm on the other side
And I hope my family's proud this time
We weren't the same but hell we made it out alive
'Cause we're getting by
We're getting by
We're getting by
We're getting by
