It Must Have Happened

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Can't remember lookin' for somethin' so hard to find

I can't remember talkin' to myself just like I'd lost my mind

I can't remember rowin' towards the moon upon a single beam

[Chorus:]

But it must have happened

(Yeah) (Yes) it must have happened

Can't remember learning how to laugh at catastrophe

I can't remember losin' track of who I was s'pposed to be

I can't remember ridin' flyin' horses toward the golden ring

[Chorus]

'Cause after all, baby

Here I am with the ring in my pocket

And the moon in my hand

After all, baby

Here I am with you

Can't remember seein' all my hopes goin' up in flames

I can't remember reachin' for the closest thing to dull the pain

I can't remember feeling I could be healed by a stranger's hand

[Chorus]

'Cause after all, baby

Here I am in a bed of roses

With a punch-drunk cretin

After all, baby

Here I am with you

Can't remember lookin' for omens hopin' there was gonna be a sign

Can't remember figuring out the secret was inside me all this time

I can't remember walkin' without fear towards the light you shine

[Tag Chorus:]

But it must have happened

Yeah, it must have happened

And I know it happened

Yes, it must have happened

Darlin' look what happened
