This Too Shall Pass

[Verse 1]
These days it's hard to get up
Some doors are better left shut
Maybe I'm thinking too much
These days
I don't go out with my friends
I don't need someone asking, a courtesy
"How have you been, these days?"
I want to get it right, but I keep on getting it wrong
I hope that you were right last night on the telephone

[Chorus]
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
I don't know when, but I do know that this too shall pass

[Verse 2]
Slow dancing with my regret
Guess I'm not over it yet
Out of the rain but still wet
These days
I'm watching too much tv
It's keeping me company
I'm not where I thought I'd be
These days
I want to get it right, but I keep on getting it wrong
I hope that you were right last night on the telephone

[Chorus]
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pass

[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll buy some new clothes
Go somewhere I used to go
Well, it's a start, I suppose

[Chorus]
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pass

[Chorus]
This too shall pass
This too shall pass
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pass
