I don't know why these things happen I don't know why these things change But I've been around long enough to know It gets better And I've been around long enough to know Things change
I have left myself out in the rain Waiting for the car in the drive Hoping it will pick up the same When the time finally arrives
Watching street lamps flicker as the random cats slink by Playing absently with fingers and trying not to cry I could sit here all night not to guess but just to know Is it gonna be right or will i just have to go home
I don't know why these things happen I don't know why these things change But I've been around long enough to know It gets better And I've been around long enough to know Things change
Running through my actions and pretending not to care I contemplate reactions and I pull out strands of hair Eyes that feel heavy start to fail with the time Have to keep them steady if you're going to be mine
Repeat my mantra repeat my mantra This too shall pass Roll up the window turn on the headlight This too shall pass
