The Way Life Goes

Hold me close as the trees grow old

And the leaves stop breaking my fall

Seasons change nothing stays the same

But I guess that's part of it all

Cause this time just keeps running out

But I thought I'd learned that by now

I had my first taste of heartbreak at 17

And I'd get too drunk oh I thought I knew everything

We're chasing highs but we're caught in the in between

You're feeling lost cause you're not where you wanna be

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life

Getting high and hitting brand new lows

Have you figured out the living on your own

Oh I'm scared of growing up

I hope I'll find a love

That feels like summer nights back home

Don't know what you've got until it's gone

Just gotta keep on moving along

I had my first taste of heartbreak at 17

And I'd get too drunk oh I thought I knew everything

Were chasing highs but were caught in the in between

You're feeling lost cause you're not where you wannabe

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goes

(Oh, ohhhh oh yaaa, oh yaaaa, ohhh)

I had my first taste of heartbreak at 17

And I'd get too drunk oh I thought I knew everything

We're chasing highs but were caught in the in between

You're feeling lost cause you're not where you wanna be

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goes (oooohhh)

That's just the way life goe
