The Getting By II - The Killers/Lucius

作词：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers

作曲：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers

When I get up she swears that she don't hear it

Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse

I comb my hair and throw some water on my face

Back out of the stillness of our house

Dishwater days she says she doesn't notice

Nothing's changed but the sadness in her eyes

Maybe it's something that I could've prevented

Or maybe the whole damn dream was just a lie

But maybe it's the getting by maybe it's the getting by

It'd swallow up your every step boy if it could

But maybe it's the stuff it takes

To get up when the morning breaks

And hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Till the getting's good

You know I believe you know I can't deny it

My people were told they'd prosper in this land

Still I know some who've never seen the ocean

Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand

They've got their treasure laying way up high

But when I look up all I see is sky

Can you tell me can you tell me why

Can you tell me can you tell me why

Can you tell me can you tell me why

When I look up all I see is sky

When I look up all I see is sky

Sky

When I look up all I see is sky

Sky

Mother can you tell me why

Why

When I look up all I see is sky

Sky

When I look up all I see

Maybe it's the getting by maybe it's the getting by

It'd swallow up your every step boy if it could

You know it would you know it

But maybe it's the stuff it takes

To get up when the morning breaks

And hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Till the getting's good

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Till the getting's good

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on

Can you hold on

Hold on
