Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Every time you raise your voice, I see the greener grass
Every time you run for cover, I see this pasture
Every time we're in a funk, I picture a different choice
Anytime we're in a rut, this distant grandeur
[Verse 2]
My tendency to do away feels natural, and
My urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable, but I know
[Verse 3]
The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better
The only way out is through, ultimately
The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through, ultimately
[Verse 4]
Every time that I'm confused, I think there must be easier ways
Every time our horns are locked, I'm towel throwing
Every time we're at a loss, we've bolted from difficulty
Anytime we're in stalemate, a final bowing
[Verse 5]
My tendency to want to hide away feels easier, and
The immediacy of picturing another place comforting to go, but I know
[Verse 6]
The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better
The only way out is through, ultimately
The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through, ultimately
[Verse 7]
We could just walk away and hide our heads in the sand
We could just call it quits, only to start all over again
With somebody else
[Verse 8]
Every time we're in a struggle, I'm down for the count that day
Every time I dream of quick fix, I'm assuaged
Now I know it's hard when it's through, and I'm damned if
I don't know a quick fix way
What formerly was treatment, silent's now outdated
My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now
The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good
And I know
[Verse 9]
The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better
The only way out is through, ultimately
The only way out is through, the only way we'll feel better
The only way out is through, ultimately
The only way out is through, the faster we're in the better
The only way out is through, ultimately
The only way out is through, the only way we'll get better
The only way out is through, ultimately
