Whatever You Can Do

It goes back to Hannah Holding out a hand I was looking for an out And calling it romance I said I've got a full bottle And you've got an empty apartment She recognized my downward Spiral And pulled me off of the pavement and said Whatever you can do to get by At least from now til then Whatever you can do to to get by Without picking up again I'm telling you that there's a horizon That I know you ain't seeing yet I'm telling you the sun is arriving And you'll be here when it sets It goes back to Michael Saying it's alright You can call me anytime And say what's on your mind I got calls from several strangers Several times a day Saying we're just checking in on you And making sure you're okay They'd say Whatever you can do to get by, man At least until tomorrow arrives Whatever you can do to keep breathing Without needing to be high I said if there's a God above will he save me Even if I don't exactly believe They said you can call it whatever you prefer, Austin Just don't leave Whatever you can do to get by At least until our next phone call Whatever you can do to survive And keep your back against the wall I know that you don't wanna think that I know you Or that we have anything in common at all But you and I are birds of a feather And together we won't fall Oh, whatever you can do to get by Whatever you can do to survive Whatever you can do to get by, man Whatever you can do
