Tenth Avenue North Just Getting By song lyrics

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 of living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

Am I just getting by

Life can take a toll, everyday demands

So much energy, so many mundane plans

So we go digital, purely physical

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 of living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

Am I 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

Come on yeah

I'm waking up to what's around me

I've lost too much to a fantasy

I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by

Just getting by

Am I just getting by

I don't want to just get by
