A song about dealing with rejection and just pushing ahead and knowing that if you just keep trying to do the right thing, you'll get by.

lyrics

You Just Get By
©2021 by: G. Polhemus

Sometimes life just comes down
Like a spiral of closing doors
Just a mind-numbing loud slamming sound
Of misplaced implied metaphors
Yeah you try and you try to break in
While the doors lock down every time
Each turn that you try has been taken
So you fold and you get back in line

But sometimes the wind will blow in
Like a fountain of life saving air
And you see just where you have been
But you know that you’re not quite there

Oh sometimes life lets on
Like its dying to be your best friend
To dance to your favorite song
And embrace you to the end
And you grab its soft closing hand
As it lifts you up so high
‘cause you know, in the end, that you’ll get by
Yeah you know, in the end, you just get by

You can study the signs of the time
And you can protest to make your case
You can set all your words into rhyme
Then sing ‘till you’re blue in the face
But sometimes you’ll have to look up
To see just what’s coming down
And in the end you will have to disrupt
Your routine just to be found

Oh sometimes life lets on
Like its dying to be your best friend
To dance to your favorite song
And embrace you to the end
And you grab its soft closing hand
As it lifts you up so high
‘cause you know in the end, that you’ll get by
Yeah you know, in the end, you just get by
