[Verse 1]
Not ever, no never
Not ever will they know this love
What they wanted was a sign
That they could hear everlasting
A refrain they sing aloud to

[Chorus]
All we want
Is just enough to get by

[Verse 2]
We all pretend to understand it
To give us the feeling like
We won't allow it

[Verse 3]
Forever and ever
Forever will they know this slight
Cornered enough to make a sound
Hear it everlasting
We refrain they're not allowed to

[Chorus]
Have enough
Just enough to get by
[Verse 4]
The freedoms we're ever chasing
Just when the feeling strikes
We're not around it
Cornered enough to make a sound
Just to hear them live it
The refrain they sing aloud to

[Chorus]
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by
Just enough to get by
