There’s a crack in the world
And we’re all hanging on
Hanging on, trying not to fall through the void
But sometimes there’s only so much you can do
And it’s hard to have big dreams
But it’s hard to let those dreams die out, too

Remembering when you were a kid
And you thought by now you’d figure out
Figure out most everything
But it’s all as confusing as ever
And every day adds something new
And some of those things are bad enough
Bad enough, they almost crush you

It’s not what you wanted, but it’ll do
It’s not what you wanted, but it’s gonna have to do

Who knows if we’ll be here tomorrow
But everything, everything, everything still matters you know
And you can say you didn’t
But we’ve been over this again and again
You never hear anything you don’t want to
And you don’t wanna hear about the end

It’s not what you wanted, but it’ll do
It’s not what you wanted, but it’s what you get
And who knows things could get better yet

Taking pleasure in simple things in between
Hot tea on a cold fall day
And dressing up for Halloween

And I'm still trying my best
You know it keeps getting harder and harder every day
When you see the news on the TV, on the radio
But I’ll keep trying to keep the skies blue anyway
