Hold Steady Soft In The Center Lyrics

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

I know what you're going through
