Just Getting By

(album: Islands - 2014)

Oh,when we were born
When we first arrived
We took it all in
Through innocent eyes

But we got jaded, cause the beauty faded
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky
But we keep coming up dry

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
I'm just getting by

Life can take a toll
Everyday demands
So much energy so many mundane plans

So we go digital, purely phisical
Hey, it's just medicinal
We need to ease our minds

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
I'm just getting by

I want to be all here now
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
Staying present even in the fear now
Life with open eyes
Please don't pass me by

Life don't pass me by, life don't pass me by
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye

I'm waking up to what's around me
I've lost too much to a fantasy
I'm tired living like I'm just getting by
Just getting by
I'm just getting by
I don't want to just get by
