[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
