How many times Do we tire of all the little battles? Threaten to call it quits Tempted to cut and run How many times Do we weather out the stormy evenings? Long to slam the front door Drive away into the setting sun: Keep going on until dawn How many times must another line be drawn? We could be down and gone But we hold on Keep going until dawn How many times must another line be drawn? We could be down and gone But we hold on: How many times Do we chafe against the repetition? Straining against the fate Measured up in coffee breaks How many times do we swallow our ambition? Long to give up the same old way Find another road to take Keep going until dawn How many times must another line be drawn? We could be down and gone But we hold on Keep holding on so long There's every chance that we might not be so wrong We could be down and gone But we hold on: How many times do we wonder if it's even worth it? There's got to be some other way Way to get me through the day! Keep going until dawn How many times must another line be drawn? We could be down and gone But we hold on
