Album: Predictable

That's The Way It Goes

I've been trying to tell you
We got a problem here
But your head is in the clouds
Maybe if you'd listened
You've heard the warnings loud and clear
The breaking glass, the perfect picture, crashing down
So you'll philosophize what you deny
Say it wasn't meant to be

Like a train headed south
Or a clock out of time
You take it or you leave it
It's leaving you behind
Like a curtain coming down
At the end of the show
Take a bow and say good-bye
Baby, that's the way, that's the way it goes

I know you think I'm crazy
The life we had is not that hard
But you just can't understand it
I wanted to believe in
That little house and that little yard
Yeah, just the way we planned it
But if you don't tend to what you care about
It's gonna disappear

Like a train headed south
Or a clock out of time
You take it or you leave it
It's leaving you behind
Like a curtain coming down
At the end of the show
Take a bow and say good-bye
Baby, that's the way, that's the way it goes

Everything we could've been
I wanted to be diving in
Not blowing with the winter wind, away from you

Like a train headed south
Or a clock out of time
You take it or you leave it
It's leaving you behind
Like a curtain coming down
At the end of the show
Take a bow and say good-bye
Baby, that's the way, that's the way it goes
