The Way It Goes

I had something to say

The tip of my tongue, now it's gone away

I'm trying, yeah, I'm trying

I got my head in the clouds

It's too far to fall, I ain't coming down

I'm flying, yeah, I'm flying

'Cause I got the words but can't get 'em out

They're stuck between my brain and mouth

It feels like something cursed me, but I suppose

That's the way it goes

I been searching my mind

Send a bucket down a well and it comes out dry

I'm worthless, yeah, I'm worthless

Another day out the door

Not a thing to say and I'm looking for the purpose

I hope it's worth it

'Cause I've searched round here and over yonder

Couldn't find a phrase to conjure

Now I'm stuck here, looking down my nose

But that's the way it goes

And I can't stop searching for the right thing to say

And I know it's right here somewhere close

But our tongues aren't working, I'm trying to find a way

But no one around here seems to know

And that's the way it goes

'Cause I got the words but can't get 'em out

They're stuck between my brain and mouth

It feels like something cursed me, but I suppose

That's the way it goes
