Something To Get Through by Dar Williams Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wake up and you still feel the same
It’s hard to move and you’re a-reeling from the pain
You say you won’t get better
‘Cause you don’t deserve it, so you think
And maybe you’ll jump off
Now that you’re standing at the brink

But it’s really just a drag
It won’t get any worse
It’s not your special fate
It’s not an evil curse

[Chorus]
It’s just something to get through
I’ll bet you will be laughing
With your friends
In the light of a better day
Laughing away
Just not today
[Verse 2]
When the darkness still won’t turn to dawn
It’s like the underworld, and nothing pulls you up
You were the shining one
Yeah, turning the wheel the other way
Happy to chase those
Glimmers of sun around the day

Now there are no meadow flowers
No colors in the sky
The dogs are laying low
The fountains running dry

[Chorus]
It’s just something to get through
I’ll bet you will be laughing
With your friends
In the light of a better day
Laughing away

[Bridge]
And everyone is having fun, yeah
Everyone is having fun
They’re so over it
Bounce in their step
Back in the ring
Grieving’s what you got
It’s not a personal thing
And you’ll be laughing
We are your friends
We’ve been there before
We’re waiting on the shore

[Outro]
So take that ride
Take it and come back
Come back soon, yeah
Come back
Come back soon, yeah
Come back
Come back soon, yeah
