[Verse 1]

How many times do we tire of all the little battles?

Threaten to call it quits?

Tempted to cut and run

How many times do we weather out the stormy evenings?

Long to slam the front door?

Drive away into the setting sun?


[Chorus]

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn?

We could be down and gone, but we hold on

Keep going until dawn

How many times must another line be drawn?

We could be down and gone, but we hold on


[Verse 2]

How many times do we chafe against the repetition?

Straining against the faith

Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times do we swallow our ambition?

Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take


[Chorus]

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn?

We could be down and gone, but we hold on

Keep holding on so long

Cause there's a chance that we might not be so wrong

We could be down and gone, but we hold on


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

How many times do we wonder if it's even worth it?

There's got to be some other way

Way to get me through the day


[Chorus]

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn?

We could be down and gone, but we hold on

Keep going until dawn

How many times must another line be drawn?

We could be down and gone, but we hold on
