That Which Doesn'T Kill You - Blues Traveler

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

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
