Every time you raise your voice I see the greener grass   Every time you run for cover I see this pasture   Every time we're in a funk I picture a different choice   Anytime we're in a rut, this distant grandeur      my tendency to want to do away feels natural   my urgency to dream of softer places feels understandable but I know      The only way out is through   The faster we're in the better   The only way out is through ultimately   The only way out is through    The only way we'll feel better   The only way out is through ultimately      Every time that I'm confused I think there must be easier ways   Every time our horns are locked I'm towel throwing   Every time we're at a loss we've bolted from difficulty   Anytime we're in stalemate, a final bowing      my tendency to want to hide away feels easier   The immediacy of picturing another place, comforting to go but I know      The only way out is through   The faster we're in the better   The only way out is through ultimately   The only way out is through   The only way we'll feel better   The only way out is through ultimately      We could just walk away and hide our heads in the sand   We could just call it quits only to start all over again, with somebody else      Every time we're stuck in struggle I'm down for the count that day    Every time I dream of quick fix I'm assuaged    Now I know it's hard when it's through and I'm damned if I don't, no quick fix way   What formerly was treatment silent's now outdated      My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now   The urgency to want to give to you what I want most feels good and I know      The only way out is through   The faster we're in the better   The only way out is through ultimately   The only way out is through   The only way we'll feel better   The only way out is through ultimately
