That Which Doesn't Kill You Lyrics - 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 

And 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
