Well you wake up before sunrise
you're on the wrong side of the bed
Keep your eyes open long enough you'll meet the voices
inside your head
Well, she said she'd be back someday
and she hopes you'll wait around
You thought that you heard somethin' break
and you recognize that sound
Feel like you're a great big lock and no one has the key
For all the people who don't give a damn
well they just can't seem to let you be
Days seem so much longer when your enemies are friends
Life is one big mystery and someone told you how it ends
but I guess That's
Just the way it goes
She told me that's just the way it goes
Well I gave an inch and she took a foot
and she kicked me in the head
That's when I got to thinking I'd be better off
with you instead, aw
You who doesn't seem concerned
about what's wrong or right
You who doesn't seem concerned
about where I spent the last three nights
Take the time to learn to walk before you learn to crawl
Should've learned by now that
what you've got is better than nothin' at all 'cause that's
Just the way it goes
She told me that's just the way it goes
Stories I've got one or two but they might put you to sleep
Promises there might be a few that I intend to keep
I promise that I'll tell you about the dream I had last night
There were kings and ducks and virgins
and they all laughed at me in spite
of all the things I told them
that just might not be true
So I'll just keep on singing
if it's all the same to you yeah, 'cause that's
Just the way it goes
She told me that's just the way it goes
They say love it makes the world go 'round
I've been standin' still for days
She said that she'd be back around
I'm still lookin' through this haze
If you can't take another step
'cause you just won't make it through
Enjoy things while you can
'cause they'll be worse when you come to, yeah, 'cause that's
Just the way it goes
She told me that's just the way it goes
hose
She said that's just the way it goes
She said that's just the way it goes
I guess that that's just the way it goes
She says that's just the way it goes, you know, you know
that's just the way it goes
She said that's just the way it goes, c'mon, c'mon
that's just the way it goes
She said that's just the way it goes, and yeah, yeah
that's just the way it goes
Well, I guess that's just the way it goes
Ah
