Soft In The Center Lyrics - Heaven Is Whenever - The Hold Steady

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
