Whatever Happens Now

First light frostbitten train tracks A new sky wild in my ways My first love, lyin' beside me Back when time couldn't touch me Old scars, oceans apart A strong back but broken at heart I stayed tucked under the covers Where I could hide away All of the little changes, how my accent faded How my dreams weren't mine anymore, oh, no We had the whole world, now we got nothin' We knew the right words but said the wrong thing And you do your best still, there'll be days when Life's gonna bring you down You hold on, hopin' you'll make it We saw it different but wanted the same thing So I let go and open my arms to whatever happens now Short breath still out of place When your hands swept me away We were both torn, desperate to save it We tried our best, baby, didn't we? You saw me losin' my old friends You held me through all those moments And I knew you'd be the hardest thing yet to lose All of the little changes in the conversations How my heart wasn't yours anymore, and we know We had the whole world, now we got nothin' We knew the right words but said the wrong thing And you do your best still, there'll be days when Life's gonna bring you down You hold on, hopin' you'll make it We saw it different but wanted the same thing So I let it go and open my arms to whatever happens now Ooh, ooh Mmm, whatever happens now
