LYRICS
That ivory tower's looking tattered and tired 'round the eyes
Ain't getting much sleep at night
My daddy told me politicians never learn the golden rule
Do unto others, as you'd have them do to you
But you go 'round and around it
You go over and under
I go through
Foot on the table, running car, and tuck my kids in at night
The American Dream in real life, yeah
My mom's an Angel, cigarette smoke like a halo 'round her hair
Sun is shining right behind her standing there
You go 'round and around it
You go over and under
I go through
You go 'round and around it
You go over and under
I go through
You break my legs, then make me walk
You seal my lips, and demand I talk
You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew
Yeah, you do
You go 'round and around it
You go over and under
I go through
Oh, through, go on
My kid he asked me, "daddy when you coming home to me from work?"
If I'm being honest, man, that hurt
So I go 'round and around it
I go over and under
He goes through
You break my legs, then make me walk
You seal my lips, and demand I talk
You blind my eyes, then ask me if I like what you drew
Yeah, you do
You go 'round and around it
You go over and under
I go through
I go 'round and around it
I go over and under
She's go through
We go 'round and around it
We go over and under
We go through

This song deserves more attention.

[@amygutzmer1199]

I totally agree

[@michaelfrohn255]

Absolutely correct!! Too much pressure on people anymore! It’s time for people to go back to having family time! Maybe we can start to enjoy life again!

[@robncasey1216]

Who knew I needed to hear this during a pandemic?!

[@misstee4662]

"We go round and around it , We go over n under , We go Through" 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@mjma4797]

When we're at our lowest point, a song like this wakes us up and makes us realize life's worth living. Thank you O.A.R.

[@misstee4662]

"We go round and around it , We go over n under , We go Through" 💖💖

[@ggates5371]

We saw these guys open for Goo Goo Dolls in Cleveland last night. I don’t understand how these guys aren’t huge. They’re criminally underrated.

[@asmrchristain1552]

Yes! I saw them last night in Kansas City

[@andrewlong6825]

Yes they are.

[@michaelbarcz326]

For some reason I put this song on for my own personal inspiration.. so many days I can't keep eyes open from the physical work but " I go through"

[@cavemaneedfood]

I quit my corporate job, started a business with my wife. Now I spend more time with my wife and kids and travel more. This was my theme song during that transition. Really got to me.

[@beads1492]

I was on my first deployment over the war in 03 and this songs makes me think of all the times I may have missed but no matter what all I wanted to do is come home to my love safe. now after I am older I see myself loving this song for what it means for the mothers and fathers that have been gone on work and miss family time.

[@meredithrock]

I keep listening to this song. Two days ago we found out my Dad’s cancer is back. Yesterday we found out that there’s nothing that can be done. Today a hospital bed will be delivered to my parents house, and hospice will begin. My parents are 1000 miles away, and because of the current state of the world, I can’t be there. Knowing people are losing jobs, losing loved ones, being alone right now.. this has already been difficult. But then adding this new thing in.. I connect with the lines “I go round and around it, I go over and under, he goes through”, in a whole new way. I’ve watched your making of a song series, and loved seeing the process of writing this. Seeing the emotion you all put into your music. I don’t know that I can fully convey to you all, how much your music helps others. Please know, that it is bringing comfort and strength, to many who need it right now. Thank you. ❤️

[@timbyles4124]

My thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time. Keep smiling. 👍

[@doyrayburn2668]

God bless you Meredith. Hang tough and be strong. Peace.

[@ashlandgrady5683]

With you right now Mere 🙏🌻💚👽✨

[@debrarosenblum9055]

I WILL KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS!!!!! MAY HE BE DANCING WITH JESUS-- BRING YOU COMFORT🙏👭🙏

[@sterlingceballo4794]

Go through brother with all the fight you can find

[@josephnarkin5357]

Love this song! I can't play it enough. And how can someone NOT love this band? One of the few out there that always carry a positive message. We were at the show in Philly and there was a family there with their 2 children. 2 different members went to them and gave them picks and drum sticks and made a fuss over them both. It was magic.

[@bc3480]

I agree Joseph. You can always spot a class act. A couple ways, the band has respect for their fans and visa versa. They truly love what they do. And when you come to see them you walk away with a good feeling. The band members are like family. And they have talent. Now compare those quantities to this weeks Kanye rant.

[@ryanheller9048]

Seen them 4 times, seeing them again. What a transition over the years!

[@poodypooroo]

This was one of my favorite groups in high school, back in 04

[@mattparker2244]

"My moms an angel, cigarette smoke like a halo around her hair". That part gets me every time

[@twofiress]

Me too!! I miss mama so much, almost 3 years ago!!

[@sbe79]

A great choice of words. Made me think of my own mom.

[@anitawbrown]

It made me realize I am not 'saintly' because of any good works. I am a friend of Jesus because He took my shame and turned it into a halo and crowned me, saying I was His bride

[@septicalfrogs]

It reminds me so much of my grandmother.

[@Aretemama]

Wish OAR would record more songs like this one. This has to be one of my favorite songs EVER.

[@kellenpies160]

city on down is my fav OAR song, specifically from madison square garden. I recommend that one

[@billytaylor6604]

FIVE YEARS old? I just heard this song on the radio as if it was new, where has it been hiding?

[@brendafactor9307]

I cry every time I hear this song. We always have to go through, no matter how painful.

[@bc3480]

There are very few songs that I will hunt until I find it. This is one of those songs.

[@enoche1974]

This sounds like a worship song from back in the day. O.A.R hive given great vibes since their inception.

[@kenhasibar2450]

Entirely UNDERRATED. Come to Portland, OR.

[@adamhuizenga1893]

One of the best songs of the year.

[@ryanferguson5652]

Learned of OAR back in 99 from some buddies that went to high school with them. Bought a CD online and played it all over UT campus... still love these guys almost 20 yrs later!

[@zoeylizabeth]

absolutely one of the best bands that has never gotten the recognition is deserves! But all the greatest ones are the ones that arent sell outs to the mainstream garbage and these guys are hard working, true artisticly talented creators. Love you guys and keep making music!!

[@CincinnatiRon]

Heard this on Sirius XM "The Pulse" yesterday and found it here, love it! Love O.A.R.

[@mka9386]

rx55 The Pulse XM channel 15 is the best 😀😀

[@SirLeDoux]

rx55 listen to The Coffee House station on Sirius for the live version- even better.

[@sbe79]

I heard this song this morning on Sirius XM on my way into work and remembered what a real banger this song was.

[@bridgetboscolo3319]

I love the pulse

[@cheryltwigg1725]

This song came to mind as I was winding down after one of those days with work worries, etc. Helped me to see that we must 'go through' and be the best version of ourselves. My mood and outlook changed immediately. Sharing with office today. Thank you O.A.R.

[@bendover9411]

Just heard this today and fell in love with it. It's the perfect song about life's ups & downs! I just don't understand the 30 dislikes.

[@Itssarah707]

Seriously how am I just finding this song?!? 🥰🥰

[@burghbrat3319]

This song is ALL of us.

[@trish7541]

Where words fail, music speaks.

[@Solseeker68]

This song and video ❤

[@dadandson6882]

Every word in this so is “LIFE” enjoy your family alway!

[@Juice_Lover123]

This song played in the store I work at a few days ago. I'd never heard it before. Two things happened... 1. I thought "Hey, it's the guys who did Shattered a few years ago..." 2. I realized, I'm crying to an uptempo OAR song. Thank GOD I'm alone in the office. It was a time. It really was.

[@mtedeschi]

About point 2. Nothing to be ashamed of. It simply shows you have soul and emotion.

[@kenhasibar2450]

You are not alone. ✌

[@solarhits0411]

Great song… helped me through out my travels for work not when I was working late at the office… as a single dad myself it helped me keep pushing through while missing my son when I was on the road working…

[@Vikingwerk]

Damn it took me *ages* to find this. Heard part of it on the radio years ago and only half remembered the lyrics. Great song!

[@agrizzly33]

One of the most real bands I have ever listened to! Love you guys.

[@douglasmcconnell8116]

Can't get enough of I Go Through once again O.A.R pure magic , like Peace ,Heard The World ect ....

[@mhummel67]

[@varitek]

Amazing song. Listen to it many times while hiking and climbing. Favorite song in a long time. Thanks O.A.R

[@gia9551]

Honestly I love that this dudes voice isn't perfect it's just so authentic

[@cooley1521]

Unique to say the least, powerful when needed. Has improved tremendously over the years also.

[@tammypelton2349]

This song and video makes me very emotional. I love it so much. 💞💞💞💞

[@pattimouse16]

I listen to this song EVERY NIGHT......my absolute favorite!!!!!!

[@bridgetboscolo3319]

I love the pulse

[@patrickn8355]

[@daryldonnelly6839]

Everything these guys write is powerful.

[@ericday4505]

God instituted the family, from the garden of Eden, before prayer or church or any institution, that is the importance of the family, great song here, as they honor that very institution. God bless.

[@brianturner5079]

I heard this song on the way upstate NY on 95.3 Honesdale Hawley. Only time I ever heard in the radio. The music biz is funny. This song should have multi million views. Production is top notch. Lyrics. Give me envy. Wish I wrote it. Respect!!

[@jacknsally11]

Great song!!! Heard it on The pulse, Great voice!!!!

[@jamesoxford4260]

OAR is a group that has grown so much since their first album. Love these guys.

[@williamdoot2234]

I feel like it sums up dealing w a narcissist.

[@GhoulishExpeditions]

If someone were to ask me, "hey man. What did you think of the new O.A.R. music video?" I would say, "They made a new music video!?" Then I would watch the video. "I love it. Probably my favorite music video that they've made." That is what I would say when I was done.

[@rayleacock6188]

Just a beautiful song, wonderful lyrics!

[@guymartin5956]

There is nothing that can beat this song and the video.
