Soft in the Center

  • Well, the hospital's going to let you go, but the city's gonna stick around
    Yeah, sure the stars are in the sky, but the money's still down on the ground
    Man, if money didn't matter then I might tell you something new
    You can't tell people what they want to hear if you also want to tell the truth

    And I'm just trying to tell the truth, kid
    I'm just trying to tell the truth

    You can't get every girl
    You'll get the ones you love the best
    You won't every girl
    You'll love the ones you get the best

    I know bodies of water freeze over, I'm from a place with lots of lakes
    But sometimes they get soft in the center and the center is a dangerous place
    It's been a long cold winter and now you're standing on unsafe ice
    You could probably do anything if you could just go and get yourself right

    You gotta get yourself right, kid
    I'm gonna give you some advice

    You can't get every girl
    You'll get the ones you love the best
    You won't every girl
    You'll love the ones you get the best

    Kid, you can't kiss every girl
    You gotta trust me on this one
    You gotta trust me on this one

    I know what you're going through
    I had to go through that too
    I know what you're going through
    I had to go through that too

    You can't get every girl
    You'll get the ones you love the best
    You won't every girl
    You'll love the ones you get the best

    You can't get every girl
    You'll get the ones you love the best
    You won't every girl
    You'll love the ones you get the best
