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
