The Way It Goes

You were sittin' there in your parking stall
I was waiting all night on your telephone call
But you never know how the weather changes now

The sky went aflare as it opened wide
With the crash and the burn of a lightning strike
And the rain came falling down
With the weight of a thousand eyes
You stare back at that emptiness
With nothing left to say
You're trying to find a way to hold that weight

And your ripped jeans tattoos cold eyes stare through
Wide eyed, beat down, like what you've been through
Don't it make you feel so old
When the kids don't know your name anymore

Well I never knew somebody quite like you
But I never knew a world that could look so cruel
I never seen a light that could take me like
The way you took this heart

Like a thief in the night when it feels so right
That it starts to make you wonder
Starts to make your heart beat a little fast then a little slow
It's funny how this world can take away all the things you've known
It's funny how this world has got it's way

Yah but I guess it's just the way
Yah I guess it's just the way
It's just the way it goes sometimes

Yah but I guess it's just the way
Yah I guess it's just the way
It's just the way it goes sometimes

You were standing in the darkness laughing proud
With your eyes on fire in this heartless crowd
Well I never knew somebody played you like
The way they play your song

The engines growl and the sirens blare
With the the dogs and the rain in the salty air
And the halo of the headlights seem to wrap around your face

Your stare as cold and distant now as that angry english sky
Your hair was pulled down low to hide your face

Cuz' back in your day you were somebody real
You had life you had love but you couldn't seem to feel
Well you couldn't seem to make it all stay
Now you can't make it go away

Cuz' 20 years pass in the blink of an eye
There were good times bad times you flew too high
Now you can't hold on to a memory like you hold onto that rope

But the rope can get so tight when it wraps
Around your neck on the darkest of nights
And your hands get a little colder when there's nothing left to hold

Yah I've been wondering how this world can be so damn cold
Yah I've been wondering just how far we'll fall

Yah but I guess it's just the way
Yah I guess it's just the way
It's just the way it goes sometimes

Yah but I guess it's just the way
Yah I guess it's just the way
It's just the way it goes sometimes

Yah I guess it's just the way
It's just the way it goes sometimes
