Things Happen

| | Verse I could go on talking or I could stop Wring out each memory 'til I get every drop Sift through the details of the others involved The true crime would be thinking it's just one person's fault Verse Like an honest signature on a fake ID Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea You can just ignore it, put it out of mind But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie? Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen, that's all they ever do Verse In a different time, on a different floor I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore So I'm driving out to Oakland for a good look back And a few revisions to my plan of attack Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen, that's all they ever do Break I think I'll see Lilly See where she stands I can't help how I feel, I don't think anyone can Sometimes we're lovers, sometimes we're friends The hope of magnetism between two dead ends Chorus (x2) Or why a mom's compelled to bronze its baby's shoes I don't know what else that you want me to say to you Things happen, that's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do
