Things Happen - Dawes
I could go on talking

Or I could stop

Ring out each memory

Till I get every drop

Sift through the details

Of the others involved

The true crime would be thinking
It's just one person's fault

Like an honest signature

On a fake ID

Like a guilty conscience

With an innocent plea

You could just ignore it

Put it out of mind

But ain't it funny

How the past won't ever let something slide

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



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 magnatism 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

We could qualify the spirit guides you listen to

Or why your moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes
I don't know what else 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
