The Hold Steady - Soft In The Center lyrics

rate me

Well, the hospital's going to let you go, but the city's gonna stick around

Yeah, sure the stars are in the sky, but the money's still down on the ground

Man, if money didn't matter then I might tell you something new

You can't tell people what they want to hear if you also want to tell the truth

And I'm just trying to tell the truth, kid

I'm just trying to tell the truth

You can't get every girl

You'll get the ones you love the best

You won't every girl

You'll love the ones you get the best

I know bodies of water freeze over, I'm from a place with lots of lakes

But sometimes they get soft in the center and the center is a dangerous place

It's been a long cold winter and now you're standing on unsafe ice

You could probably do anything if you could just go and get yourself right

You gotta get yourself right, kid

I'm gonna give you some advice

You can't get every girl

You'll get the ones you love the best

You won't every girl

You'll love the ones you get the best

Kid, you can't kiss every girl

You gotta trust me on this one

You gotta trust me on this one

I know what you're going through

I had to go through that too

I know what you're going through

I had to go through that too

You can't get every girl

You'll get the ones you love the best

You won't every girl

You'll love the ones you get the best

You can't get every girl

You'll get the ones you love the best

You won't every girl

You'll love the ones you get the best

I know what you're going through
