The Hold Steady - Soft In The Center lyrics

Well, the hospital's going to let you go But the city's gonna stick around Yeah, sure the stars are in the sky But the money's still down on the ground Man, if money didn't matter Then I might tell you something new You can't tell people what they want to hear If you also want to tell the truth And I'm just trying to tell the truth, kid I'm just trying to tell the truth You can't get every girl You'll get the ones you love the best You won't get every girl You'll love the ones you get the best I know bodies of water freeze over I'm from a place with lots of lakes But sometimes they get soft in the center And the center is a dangerous place It's been a long cold winter And now you're standing on unsafe ice You could probably do anything If you could just go and get yourself right You gotta get yourself right, kid I'm gonna give you some advice You can't get every girl You'll get the ones you love the best You won't get every girl You'll love the ones you get the best Kid, you can't kiss every girl You gotta trust me on this one You gotta trust me on this one I know what you're going through I had to go through that too I know what you're going through I had to go through that too You can't get every girl You'll get the ones you love the best You won't get every girl You'll love the ones you get the best You can't get every girl You'll get the ones you love the best You won't get every girl You'll love the ones you get the best I know what you're going through
