Things Happen

I could go on talking, or I could stop Wring out each memory 'till I get every drop Sift through the details of the others involved The true crime would be thinking it's just one persons fault Like an honest signature on a fake ID Like the guilty conscience with the innocent plea You can just ignore it put it out of mind But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do In a different time On a different floor I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore So I'm driving up to Oakland, for a good look back And a few revisions to my plan of attack Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do I think I'll see Lily see where she stands I can't help how I feel, I don't think anyone can Sometimes we're lovers, sometimes we're friends Behold the magnetism between two dead ends Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through (We can qualify the spirit guides we listen to) Let's raise a glass to all the people you'renot speaking to (Or why are moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes) I don't know what else you want me to say to you Things happen That's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do That's all they ever do
