I just want to throw away to get me through todayNothing real to hold on to, nothing meant to stayOnly till the sun comes up then cast down on the waveYeah, I just want to throw away to get me through today.I don't need no fairy tales, I just want a startA footstep on the lowest rung, a patch on this old heartWon't you put a compass in my hand, and send me on my wayCause I just want to throw away to get me through today.Built a house on Lovers Lane and now it's fallen downCouldn't stand against the wind and built on shaky groundAll I was, I was for her, now since she went awayWould you deny a throwaway, or to help me through today.Could be some way down the line before a day will comeWhen I have faith enough to say, hey, this could be the oneTill the end of winter comes and the gold kicks through the greyI just want to throw away to help me through todayTo help me through today.
