(That's the way it goes)
I'm just waiting for the show to begin
Paint a picture of the life I love
Again and again and again
Then I'm
Sitting in the back seat
So young and carefree
Mum was there to hold me
Wish she always would be
But never thought I could be
Anything that I dream
Now I'm standing at a crossroads
Tell me where do I go
We try to stand tall
When life knocks us down
But we get up again
And again and again
Cause we're
Moved by affection
Need a change of direction
I guess that's just the way it goes
When we move slowly
Life is quite lonely
Everybody has their own path
Wish that all our pain swept away by rain
Could be in the distant past
Are we something that lasts or shatters like glass
I guess that's just the way it goes
Guess that's the way
You know that's just the way it goes
The way
(That's the way it goes)
Seldom is it easy
When not young and carefree
(Goes)
We find it in the moments
Cause you're the thing that I need
(Goes)
Now I'm always gonna keep on
You're telling me that I'm strong
(Ooh)
Cause we're
Moved by affection
Need a change of direction
I guess that's just the way it goes
When we move slowly
Life is quite lonely
Everybody has their own path
Wish that all our pain swept away by rain
Could be in the distant past
Are we something that lasts or shatters like glass
I guess that's just the way it goes
Guess that's the way
You know that's just the way it goes
The way
(That's the way it goes)
I'm just waiting for the show to begin
(The way)
Paint a picture of the life I love
(That's the way it goes)
Tell the tale of the battles I've won
Again and again and again
(That's the way it goes)
Cause we're
Something that lasts
The way
You know that's just the way it goes
Moved by affection
Won't change my direction
I guess that's just the way it goes
Now I know our pain
Swept away by rain
Could be in the distant past
Are we something that lasts or shatters like glass
I guess that's just the way it goes
Guess that's the way
You know that's just the way it goes
The way
(That's the way it goes)
