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
