Ain't it Just the Way

What can I tell you
What can I say
When the words don't come easy
And just so far away

We're on this long distance line
And it seems we're out of time
All the stars were within reach
But today they're just starfish on the beach

Ain't it just the way the story goes
Ain't it just the way the heart it grows
So afraid to lose each other
We hold tight and bruise each other
Ain't it just the way the story goes
Giving up, letting go

How did it happen
When did it start
And things your taught to pull close
And not so far apart

Is this ocean in between
Something we should have for sea
Lost and lonely
Cause the way that we are
Reminiscent yesterday

Ain't it just the way the story goes
Ain't it just the way the heart it grows
Ain't it just the way the story goes
Ain't it just the way the heart it grows
So afraid to lose each other
We hold tight and bruise each other
Ain't it just the way the story goes
Giving up, letting go
Ain't it the way it goes
Giving up, letting go
The way the heart it grows

Ain't it just the way the story goes
Ain't it just the way the heart it grows
I know, I know, I know
Ain't it just the way the story goes
