Just Getting By

Don't try and tell me what you think I need
You won't make it better and you can't fix it all for me
If everything were perfect would you be satisfied?
Can you paint a picture for me?
Show me what that looks like

Yeah, a white picket fence and a piece of "that sounds nice"
But baby that's not our life
And don't you forget that we got love and we got time
So even though it's messy
I got you if you get me
And baby we won't always be just getting by

I know that you're weary 'Cause baby I am too
And all the shit keeps coming like a hurricane blowing through
So go ahead and tell me it'll be okay 'cause any day now baby our luck is gonna change

Yeah, a white picket fence and a piece of "that sounds nice"
But baby that's not our life
And don't you forget that we got love and we got time
So even though it's messy I got you if you get me
And baby we won't always be just getting by
