Things Happen

[Verse 1]
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 person's fault

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
In a different time, on a different floor
I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore
So I'm driving out to Oakland for a good look back
And a few revisions to my plan of attack

[Chorus]

I think I'll see Lilly
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
The hope of magnetism between two dead ends

[Chorus] (x2)

[Chorus 2 Overlayed]
We could qualify the spirit guides you listen to
Or why a mom's compelled to bronze its baby's shoes
I don't know what else that you want 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
