Things Happen - Dawes
I could go on talking
Or I could stop
Ring out each memory
Till 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
Like an honest signature
On a fake ID
Like a guilty conscience
With an innocent plea
You could just ignore it
Put it out of mind
But ain't it funny
How the past won't ever let something slide
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
In a different time
On a different floor
I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore
So I'm driving up 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
I think I'll see Lily
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
Behold the magnatism between two dead ends
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
We could qualify the spirit guides you listen to
Or why your moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes
I don't know what else you wanted 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
