Lyric Just Getting By

Look at me, I m the one who got away, the one who could ve shone
I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don t last for long

Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions
We try to make a difference, do something no one else had tried

But if you see me walking and you re wondering why
Well it s just the business of life
If you re not getting lucky, you re just getting by

Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I ve known?
Am I a foreign presence, someplace that used to be my home?

So if you see me walking, just a regular guy
Well it s just the business of life
If you re not getting lucky, you re just getting by

And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck
The one thing you don t expect is feeling the drop

Look at me, I m the one who got away, and then came crawling back
I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack

So if you see me walking, and you re wondering why
Well it s just the business of life
If you re not getting lucky, you re just getting by
