It Was Coming All Along

Everybody's going crazy, see 'em walking down the street
And I feel like a deer in headlights when I turn on the TV
And I keep wandering 'round my living room
Just wondering how we're gonna survive

See the light stream in the window, call my mother on the phone
Said there's talking in the kitchen of selling my childhood home
And everywhere I look around, it seems we're always
Saying goodbye

And I don't know just what to do
I'm fine but feel I'm breaking through
My world's a honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But it was coming all along

It was coming all along

I know I might sound existential if this is the first time that we meet
But I swear there's some potential in the actuality
And I'm trying to be brave these days, but, oh, I've still got
Nora on the phone (um, hello? How are you?)

And she's saying, "Hold your temper, hey there, Maggie, slow your roll
And I know that you still hate him for the way he hurt you back at school"
And though it's dark out in the distance, it's looking like there
Might be a new soul

And I don't know just what to do
I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through
My world's a honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But I know it won't last for long

So fast, it's fading out of view
I'm flying, long past 22
So high, I can't find the moment it went wrong
But it was coming all along

I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through
It was coming all along
My world's a honey shade of blue
It was coming all along
I know it won't last for long

It was coming all along
It was coming all along
