lyrics

How It Goes
(Words & Music by Jim Butterfield)

This is how it starts
Thick as thieves whenever we’re together
Never far apart
Always seems it’s getting so much better
In between the sheets
And in between the promises
Always let your feelings show
Glass three quarters full
And always filling up again
And everybody knows…
CHORUS
That’s just how it goes
Where it goes, nobody knows
Chasing dreams, don’t let them go
Cuz that’s just how it goes

This is where it leads
Those routines you follow to the letter
Never what it seems
Always feels like something could be better
In between routines
Life gets complicated
Someone let their feelings show
Glass is still half full
But leaks are almost everywhere
And everybody knows…
CHORUS
SOLO
This is how it ends
Never thought for worse instead of better
Tough to comprehend
Guess it’s true that nothing lasts forever
In between the schemes
We’ve broken all the promises
Never let your feelings show
The world will little note
It’s best to just get over it
Cuz everybody knows…
