From the recording Hymnals and Hangovers
Lyrics
GET BY
I wrote you a letter
To tell you how I feel about you
Decided not to send it
‘Cuz if I did we’d be through
It talked about the good times
And about the bad times too
Puttin’ it down on paper
Made me feel for you
So I held on to that note
So I could get by
That feeling when we first met
Had me flying oh so high
But fightin’ and complainin’
Makes me wish I could die
Shoulda held on to that note
So I could get by
I never wanted this
I swore I would try
But I can’t imagine that
I won’t get by
Wished I’d held on to that note
So I could get by
As I sit down to read this
It’s with tears in my eyes
Those feelings we once held
Aren’t enough to get by
