GET BY

[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, oh

[Verse 1]
She works all day on her pension
Nine-to-five just way too long
Moving in the right direction
But she always seem so far
She thought by now she'd be fancy
Double CCs on her waist
But the promises were empty
And the compliments feel fake (Yeah)

[Chorus]
Oh, it's hard to get enough
She tries, he tries, we try to get by, get by, get by (Oh yeah)

[Verse 2]
He's so tired from the night shift
But he needs the overtime
Eyes are closed cooking breakfast
Right back out the door in five
He thought by now he'd be racked up
Mmm-mmm, mmm-mmm
Louis V and greener pastures
Doesn't even really matter

[Chorus]
‘Cause it's hard to get enough
But she tries, he tries, we try to get by, get by, get by
I know it's hard to get enough
She tries, he tries, we try to get by, baby, get by, baby, get by

[Bridge]
Yeah, ooh
Gold and shiny things don't make a brighter day
Onto a higher place, I know we'll find a way
Oceans and tidal waves, hoping the tides will change
(Yeah, I know, I know, I know it)
Onto a higher place, I know we'll find a way
I know the open road could seem so cold
Zero degrees at most
But you could get warm for free, I know (Baby, I know)
I know it'll get hard to breathe
I know money ain't worth the trees
I know (I know), I know, I know (Uh)

[Chorus]
‘Cause it's hard to get enough
But she tries, he tries, and we try to get by, baby, get by, baby, get by
Oh, I know it's hard to get enough
She tries, he tries, we try to get by, baby, get by, baby, get by
Yeah
