The Way It Always Goes

lyrics

Undone by the kitchen sink, taken down by the simplest task
Lying here on the floor, wondering how long this will last
Complete defeat at the hands of simplicity
Isn’t that the way it always goes?

I’m lying here, I’m trying to hear, hoping for an escape
It’s possible I’ve gone too far and have finally sealed my fate
I’m trying to do what you want me to
I wonder if you know

That’s the way it always goes
That’s the way it always goes
That’s the way it always goes
You can try to change things
Try to rearrange
But that’s the way it always goes

There’s so many things I’ve wanted to say, If I could only find the way
But once again I’ve missed my chance, I’ll save it for another day
So here I am, biding my time
I only hope it shows

That’s the way it always goes
That’s the way it always goes
That’s the way it always goes
You can try to change things
Try to rearrange
But that’s the way it always goes

Letter Seventeen Norcross

Whimsical indie pop from a one-man band. Except when other people help. Which is quite often. So it's not like a one-man band at all.
Oh. And there are songs about donkeys.
