Things Happen

I could go on talking or I could stop

Wring out each memory 'til I get every drop

Sift through the details of the others involved

The true crime would be thinking it's just one persons fault

Like an honest signature on a fake ID

Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea

You can just ignore it, put it out of mind

But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie

Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through

Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to

I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you

Things happen, that's all they ever do

In a different time, on a different floor

I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore

So I'm driving up to Oakland for a good look back

And a few revisions to my plan of attack

Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through

Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to

I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you

Things happen, that's all they ever do

I think I'll see Lily, see where she stands

I can't help how I feel, I don't think anyone can

Sometimes we're lovers, sometimes we're friends

Behold the magnetism between two dead ends

Let's make a list of all the things the world has put you through

Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to

I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you

Things happen, that's all they ever do

Lets' make a list of all the things the world has put you through (we can qualify the spirit guides we listen to)

Lets raise a glass to all the people your not speaking to (or why are moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes)

I don't know what else that you wanted me to say to you

Things happen, that's all they ever do

That's all they ever do

That's all they ever do

That's all they ever do
