Best You Can
When your mind starts spinning and you really lack
a means of defence or a plan of attack
and it feels like the whole world is turning to black
suicidal - all right, jack
A magic solution? We both know there's not
just do the best you can with the best that you've got
Sure, nobody knows what you're going through
when you're at your wits end, you ain't got a clue
you bit off way more than you thought you could chew
There's still a way out - you know what to do
So when you're right on the edge of losing the plot
do the best that you can with the best you've got
Sometimes, the only way out that you'll find
is stop - accept - analyze - step out of your mind
stare out at the sea, let it stare back in kind
try to leave all of that worry behind
and remember the waves really don't care one jot
just do the best you can with the best you've got
And sure, I know that it isn't enough
that distance and separation makes it tough
I ain't gonna lie - this is real fucking rough
But whatever this is - it's the best of this stuff
So listen to me, love - listen to Scott
We're doing the best that we can with the best that we've got .
