Just the Way It Is

Someone should told the weatherman to start
Mindin' his own business and stop
Messin' with the skies, for all that they were worth
See Jack had never planned on finding
Treasure in the clouds he said
But if it's raining gold I just might grab myself a handful
Business suits and fairy wings
Butterflies, broken guitar strings
Burnt and frazzled nerve endings
Rainbows, coffee, honey bee stings
Lullabies of winter songs
Rain in spring falls all day long
And in the end it all belongs
Take us for what we are

'Cus I, I can't hear you
When you speak to me, when you speak to me
'Cus I'm, I'm off in my own world
Lovin' life just the way it is

Someone shoulda told me years ago that
No one gets by by being jaded
Stop and breathe once in a while
See life's not always gonna fit
In a perfect square in the palm of your hand but
Geometry's always a bore

And I, I can't hear you
When you speak to me, when you speak to me
'Cus I'm, I'm off in my own world
Lovin' life just the way it is

And I'm not always gonna find that
Fortunes smiling down on me
Life might sometimes be unkind
But I'm always gonna see

It's a beautiful life, it's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life, it's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life, ooh
It's a beautiful life, it's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life, it's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life
It's a beautiful life

And I, I can't hear you
When you speak to me, when you speak to me
'Cus I'm, I'm off in my own world
Lovin' life just the way it is
