Lyrics Blues Traveler

Blues Traveler

That Which Doesn'T Kill You

Crush me softly or cradle me hard

And the more I wanted was the scariest part

A measure of control, well, not this time

And I wanted to learn so I claim the lesson as mine

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer

Is the art of living every day

That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Until it finally kills you all the way

You take every action and apply the math

You could reap the rapture or risk the wrath

And if you rate the reasons then the best ones lose

And all that means is you got no excuse

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer

Is the art of living every day

And that which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Until it finally kills you all the way

Harmonica powers reactivate

Gonna pull up stakes, gonna try again

Do whatever it takes to draw you in

It's what I am and it's all I know

Like the carnie man you gotta work the show

The politics of lasting just a little bit longer

Is the art of living every day

That which doesn't kill you only makes you stronger

Until it finally kills you all the way
