It Was Coming All Along

Everybody's going crazy

See them walking down the street

And I feel like a deer in headlights

When I turn on the TV

And I keep wandering round my living room

Just wondering how we're gonna survive

See the light stream in the window

Call my mother on the phone

Said there's talking in the kitchen

Of selling my childhood home

And everywhere I look around

It seems we're always saying goodbye

And I don't know just what to do, I'm fine but

Feel I'm breaking through

My world's a honey shade of blue

I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on

But it was coming all along

It was coming all along

I know I might sound existential

If this is the first time that we meet

But I swear there's some potential in the actuality

And I'm trying to be brave these days

But oh, I've still got Nora on the phone

Um, hello? How are you?

And she's saying, "Hold your temper

Hey there, Maggie, slow your roll

And I know that you still hate him

For the way he hurt you back at school"

And though it's dark out in the distance

It's looking like there might be a new soul

And I don't know just what to do, I'm fine but

Feel I'm breaking through

My world's a honey shade of blue

I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on

But I know it won't last for long

So fast it's fading out of view

I'm flying, long past twenty-two

So high, can't find the moment it went wrong

But it was coming all along

I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through

It was coming all along

My world's a honey shade of blue

It was coming all along

And I know it won't last for long

It was coming all along

But it was coming all along
