[Verse 1]
These days it's hard to get up
Some doors are better left shut
Maybe I'm thinking too much
These days
I don't go out with my friends
I don't need someone asking, a courtesy
"How have you been, these days?"
I want to get it right, but I keep on getting it wrong
I hope that you were right last night on the telephone
[Chorus]
This too shall pa**
This too shall pa**
I don't know when, but I do know that this too shall pa**
[Verse 2]
Slow dancing with my regret
Guess I'm not over it yet
Out of the rain but still wet
These days
I'm watching too much tv
It's keeping me company
I'm not where I thought I'd be
These days
I want to get it right, but I keep on getting it wrong
I hope that you were right last night on the telephone
[Chorus]
This too shall pa**
This too shall pa**
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pa**
[Verse 3]
Maybe I'll buy some new clothes
Go somewhere I used to go
Well, it's a start, I suppose
[Chorus]
This too shall pa**
This too shall pa**
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pa**
[Chorus]
This too shall pa**
This too shall pa**
I don't know when, but I do know that
This too shall pa**
