Lyrics The Only Through is In - Carrie Newcomer

The Only Through is In

Can’t get over it
Can’t go around it
Can’t get under it
I know because I tried
Checking the walls on every side
And if I could pray
Or do this any other way
I’d have done it long ago
The only way out is through
But the only way through is in, again
Where the soft soul waits
And hearts beat and break
And the real wars are waged and won
By song
This runaway train
In a well-worn brain
More of the same
Can’t be sustained anymore
So I walked in through that door
And it felt like dying
But it feels like trying
Yet I’m still only halfway there
The only way out is through
But th only way through is in, again
Where it’s hard as stone
And clos to the bone
And real wars are waged and won
I think that
You might be
The bravest soul
I’ll ever meet anywhere
Just sitting in that chair
And with shaky hands
I saw you make your stand
And I believe you can, you can
The only way out is through
But the only way through is in, again
Where the soft soul waits
And hearts beat and break
And the real wars are waged and won
