How It's Supposed To Be
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.
I think I'll buy a gun and blame it on my hometown
It's so cold in the deep
She asked me if I think I'll ever see her again
I say hopefully
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
My heroes all died young
They hung themselves with fame
And these lunatics, molded me
I got a tattoo, it's a joke I keep a secret
I need everyone to notice me
But maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
I think I'll die young
With all my broken dreams
I've got it figured out
This is the golden key
Everything is how it's supposed to be
Everything is how it's supposed to be
We messed it all up
Now the world is getting warmer
LA will be out at open sea
Meanwhile, I'm falling down
My heart is getting colder
I hurt everyone close to me
But maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
Maybe that's how it's supposed to be
I think I'll die young
With all my broken dreams
I've got it figured out
This is the golden key
The day my daddy died
I was down the street
I lost my only friend
People don't grow on trees
But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be
Say, I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa
Say I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be
Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be
I think this is how it's supposed to be
Well here we are
This is Sunday morning, October 2nd, 1988
And this for Sajo, Sajo who I talked to last night
Wanted to see Michael, so there he is
Let's see if we can get him, Michael look up here
Here you go Michael
Yeah, ok, anyway he's a real good kid
