I Can Make It If You Can

Somewhere a screen door slammed

Somewhere, someplace

Somebody's killing a man

And down the road I'm told five people died

And I wonder

Are you making love to anyone tonight?

'Cause you and I

We're still sitting here

Our eyes are dry

But we're bored to tears

She said, "Talk about the future

Let's forget about the past"

Did I forget to tell you

That the future never lasts?

And, can I hold on that long

Is it worth the same old string along?

There's been few rights

But there's plenty wrongs

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can

Don't trust anything

Especially love

Be careful of the broken bottles

On the wall above

They burn your brain

And they tear at your mind

I know I won't be making love

To anyone tonight

'Cause she and I

We're still sitting here

Our eyes are dry

But we're bored to tears

I said, "There must be some future

If there's been a past

Don't talk about the present

It makes me wanna laugh"

And, can I hold on that long?

Is it worth the same old string along?

There's been few rights

But there's plenty wrongs

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can

(We're gonna make it)

'Cause she and I

We're still waitin' here

Our eyes are dry

Though we're bored to tears

Don't talk about the future

Please don't talk about the past

Let's forget about the present

Time never lasts

And can we hold on that long?

(Can we?)

Is it worth the same old string along?

(Same old thing, everytime)

There's been few rights

But there's plenty wrongs

I can make it if you can

(You know I can)

I can make it if you can

I can make it if you can
