The Way Things Hurt
Summertime heat makes our lives glaze over
It's hurting my eyes to look at the glistening water
Sun on my skin, this life couldn't be better
(Ohh Ohh)
We're laughing
Then we're crying
It's so hard to keep it going
It's delicate, it's frighting
Undeniably American souls wear their worn-out blue jeans and their pride on their chest
They say boys will be boys, but honey if that's true no one will become a man
All the boys, girls, and other kids will get their hearts broken
And it all falls into place
Life feels so good for some, but for others it aches
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way
I watch his body move as he gets out of the water
Pale skin shines bright as he saunters over
Over to me, damn baby
You make it look so easy
(Ohh)
We're whispering
All our secrets
It's so hard
To keep on dreaming
It's so damn electrifying
(Oh ya?)
Undeniably American souls wear their worn-out blue jeans and their pride on their chest
They say boys will be boys, but honey if that's true no one will become a man
All the boys, girls, and other kids will get their hearts broken
And it all falls into place
Life feels so good for some, but for others it aches
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
Take me away
Play me a song
I'm waiting for my friends
To put their makeup on
Waoh ya
Lip gloss, ripped jeans, and vinyl records
Tan skin, football, too many awards
Whispers in our ear saying
Did you hear? Did you hear? Tell me baby did you hear?
Undeniably American souls wear their worn-out blue jeans and their pride on their chest
They say boys will be boys, but honey if that's true no one will become a man
All the boys, girls, and other kids will get their hearts broken
And it all falls into place
Life feels so good for some, but for others it aches
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
It's hurting my eyes to look at the glistening water
Sun on my skin, this life couldn't be better
(Ohh Ohh)
We're laughing
Then we're crying
It's so hard to keep it going
It's delicate, it's frighting
Undeniably American souls wear their worn-out blue jeans and their pride on their chest
They say boys will be boys, but honey if that's true no one will become a man
All the boys, girls, and other kids will get their hearts broken
And it all falls into place
Life feels so good for some, but for others it aches
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way
I watch his body move as he gets out of the water
Pale skin shines bright as he saunters over
Over to me, damn baby
You make it look so easy

That's just the way things hurt
That's just the way the world works
That's just the way things hurt
