At the End of the Tunnel There Is Always a Shining Light

In the hue and cry of our fear-in-love drive-by
You’re at the wheel while I’m crouched in a bathtub, South Central L. A
Witty metaphors can’t begin to describe
The frailty of our past — 12/9
And the reason I cling even more tightly to your side
Whoa, what a shame I’m ever blind to see
At the end of the tunnel there is always a shining light
It takes all of your life to stay alive
My head under a rock. Please watch where you take your next step
And I’m holding on if you hold on to everything that we’ve made
Here is where we are
Sitting free in our getaway car
You’re at the wheel
While I quiz you on multiplication and radio
Witty metaphors can’t begin to detail
All this love, loss and laughter
And everything in between
Whoa, every day when I wake you’ll be
At the end of the tunnel there is always a shining light
It takes all of your life to stay alive
And working is fine if at the end there is you
And I’m holding on if you hold on to everything that we’ve made
And regardless of this mark that I’ll carry
I know that the sun sets, rise, set, rise
And I’ll be there when you wake in the morning light
And I can honestly say that I won’t be afraid
'Cause you’d never let me go
It takes all of your life to stay alive
My head under a rock. Please watch where you take your next step
And I’m holding on if you hold on to everything that we’ve made
Everything that we’ve made
And please watch where you take your next step
And I’m holding on if you hold on to everything that we’ve made
