From a desperate place
How do I reach you
You know I scare myself
These crazy nights without you
And I feel no pain
When I see you cry
We can turn it around now
You're my reason to try
We've all seen some trouble
But we've always come through
You know things could get better
Hey babe believe me
Tough times don't last
Lovers do
Baby don't give up
On me and you
Cause trouble's just a storm
That's gonna pass
Tough times don't last
We can work so hard
Til we feel the strain
We can get so close
It's the distance
We can't explain
Still I reach for you
In the pouring rain
Like a change in the weather
Here comes the sun
Things could only get better
Hey babe believe me
Tough times don't last
Lovers do
Baby don't give up
On me and you
Cause trouble's like a storm
That's gonna pass
Tough times don't last
You say now that your heart is breakin'
From the wild times that you've lived
Better measure the risks that you're taking
Hey babe it can only get better
Tough times don't last
Lovers do
Baby don't give up
On me and you
Cause trouble's like a storm
That's gonna pass
Tough times
Tough times don't last
Lovers do
Me and you
Believe me baby
Oh yeah
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Tough times don't last
Baby now
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Oh yeah
Na na na na na na na na na
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Oh yeah
It's me
It's you
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Oh yeah
Tough times don't last
(Whoa whoa whoa)
Oh yeah

Matt Shadows their lead singer says the song was written as per request from the developers of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Watching the initial trailers for the game & looking at production sketches reminded him of the 'S-Town' podcast & its main protagonist, John B. McLemore. Matt also comments specifically on the lyrics: "I decided that the lyrics would shadow McLemore's life." In 2012, antiquarian horologist John B. McLemore sent an email to the staff of the show 'This American Life' asking them to investigate an alleged murder in his hometown of Woodstock, Alabama, a place McLemore claimed to despise. After a year of exchanging emails & several months of conversation with McLemore, producer Brian Reed traveled to Woodstock to investigate. Reed investigated the crime & eventually found that no such murder took place, though he struck up a friendship with the depressed but colorful character of McLemore. He recorded conversations with McLemore & other people in Woodstock. McLemore killed himself by drinking potassium cyanide on June 22, 2015 while the podcast was still in production. In the narrative of the podcast, this occurs at the end of the second episode; subsequent episodes deal with the fallout from McLemore's death while exploring more of McLemore's life & character.
