Out Is Through by Alanis Morissette

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 and
My urgency to dream of softer places
Feels understandable
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 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 of final bowing
My tendency to want to hide away
Feels easier and
The immediacy is picturing another place
Comforting to go
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 know quick fix way
But formerly mistreat me silence now outdated
My tendency to want to run feels unnatural now
The urgency to want to give to you
I don't want most feels good
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
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 get better
The only way out is through
Ultimately
