lyrics

So far,
So far behind the others,
But maybe we'll recover.
Maybe we'll recover.

Seen all the weather we are under,
But maybe we'll recover.
Maybe we'll recover.

You've got a life to get on with, haven't you?

See you through the pouring rain,
I've got an unoriginal roaring pain,
but didn't we say, today would be the day?
So many yesterdays weigh heavy.
I'm ready, if I'm ever ready.
A recovery is on its way.

So far,
We struggle treading water,
But maybe we'll recover.
Maybe we'll recover.

It got so hard,
But lately I've discovered
That this part of the story's obligatory,
So we'll turn pages 'til the glory.

See you through the pouring rain,
I've got an unoriginal roaring pain,
but didn't we say, today would be the day?
So many yesterdays weigh heavy.
I'm ready, if I'm ever ready.
A recovery is on its way.

We have made mistakes in public,
They are written on our walls.
We have watched the serotonin rise and fall, rise and fall, we've seen it all.
The rise and fall.
Fall.

See you through the pouring rain,
I've got an unconditional roaring pain,
but didn't we say, today would be the day?
Today could be the day!

So many yesterdays weigh heavy.
I'm ready, if I'm ever ready.
A recovery is on its way.

You've got a life to get on with, haven't you?
Today could be the day.
