Way That Will Work

Toss me a line, something I can hold onto
Hope over fear. Let me smile at the situation
I’ve been through anger and despair
And everything that comes between
Needing help, to repair
Reach beyond my own limitation

I’ve been missing the euphoria that colors our days
Now stuck within a box built from these shades of gray

But with a love that’s ocean’s deep
And a swell from underneath, what would you say
We will find a way that will work
We can find a way that will work

Habits can be hard. Set on automatic drive
In keeping up my guard, clutching expectations

Is it possible to settle being happy and sad?
Does perfection mean embracing both the good and the bad?

And with a love that’s ocean’s deep
A swell from underneath, what would you say
We will find a way that will work
We can find a way that will work

With the Sun, shining through, the dust reveals
That I am all suspended
Caught, between up and down, on where to do
I see your hand extended, and the pain has ended.
