Sebastian Wolff - How To Get By lyrics

[Verse 1] Far across the ocean In China or Japan People live so differently But what I'm trying to understand Is when you're struck with trouble When you feel the pain of life Oh please tell me How do you get by? [Verse 2] Today you are not with me No, you had to go But you left with him so quickly As if you wanted me to know That without you I am nothing That without you I would fall But now I've learned my lesson So it's time for you to call Call me up And tell me how to get by [Chorus] Because it raises up from underground Swallows me up pound for pound Dragging me on down to hell The way I feel I might as well [Verse 3] I've read books on mind and matter On philosophy and art I've read poems, songs and fables That may tell you about the heart Oh, but when you're struck with trouble When you feel the pain of life There's only one thing that I can tell you And you will know this when you fall That when you're tired of living It's best to be afraid to die So for now That's how I'll get by
