I'm bumming cheap cigarettes
Just drunk out in a driveway
Dreaming on and on about
Life out on the highway
Toiling away on a long term loan
Working two jobs so I can dream at home
But I just wanna get by
Until it's my time
Until it's my time
And I'm increasingly disturbed
By loud horns and sirens
Living too close to hospitals and
Senseless violence
Wishing that the voices clouding my brain
Would whisper words of hope instead of
Proving I'm not sane
But I just wanna get by
Until it's my time
Until it's my time
When my number comes in
I hope I keep my head
Cause I don't wanna piss off
And then be left for dead
Cause I need love around me
I need friends and their words
Cause when I'm all alone
You know that's when I'll really hurt
That's when I'll really hurt
But I just wanna get by
Until it's my time
Until it's my time
I got up late the other night
Reminisced about the past
And I know these hard times
Aren't really gonna last.
But when you're slogging through the hours
By the glow of a little screen
You lose a bit of self and now I never feel like me
But I just wanna get by
Until it's my time
Until it's my time
