Lyrics

Translation
Bilingual
A worn out jacket hung to dry
Tattered torn, a lost necktie
Autopilot ran aground
Captain’s nowhere to be found
A rolling fog crept over things
The mist undid the ship’s moorings
Makes for a hazy kind of gray
Sometimes things just seem to slip away
There was a darkness pulling me down
I don’t know how I managed to make it out
I did what I had to do to get by
I'll do what I got to get by
Don’t know where I’d be
Or what I would do
You took care of me
What did I take from you
Always there for me
Is this what it’s come to
Is it fair to be
Unsure of what to do
I was barely me
What did I hold on to
You were like a queen
If you only knew
Doubt that I would be
Here if not for you
Doubt that I would be me
If not for you
I don’t know how I managed to make it out
I did what I had to do to get by
I’ll do what I got to get by
I got caught on the rocks and I
Kept from drowning in the deep
Just to be dashed to smithereens
Let my line of safety go
To swim for shore all on my own
I don’t know how I managed to make it out
I did what I had to do to get by
This feeling comes from somewhere deep down inside
I’ll do what I got to get by
