Songtexte The Way It Has to Be - Des Rocs

I'd hate to sabotage a good time
But I been doing that my whole damn life
I'm not quite as I seem
I don't get my kicks stompin' on dreams
Wild pitch? Take your base

I made it home without my headlights
Rode through the night kissing the Brooklyn coastline
I'm noticing a theme
A growing space that's in between
What I do and what I say

Cause I wanna rock and I wanna roll
Riding high on the open road
Yea I want you so bad, but I'm lettin' you go
So buckle up tight and let me tell you

It's the way it has to be
I was born to be running free
When the tears fill up your eyes
I know it's hard to see
That baby, it's not you it's me

I'll never say one last "I love you"
With that kind of grace reserved for Roman statues
But now we've tumbled down
To little bits all on the ground
Sweep em up, chuck em out

Cause I wanna rock and I wanna roll
Riding high on the open road
Yea I want you so bad, but I'm lettin' you go
So buckle up tight and let me tell you

It's the way it has to be
I was born to be running free
When the tears fill up your eyes
I know it's hard to see
That baby, it's not you it's me

How many times will I learn?
I just keep hurting myself
How many times must I learn?
I just keep doing it again

It's the way it has to be
I was born to be running free
When the tears fill up your eyes
I know it's hard to see
That baby, it's not you it's me

It's the way it has to be
I was born to be running free
When the tears fill up your eyes
I know it's hard to see
That baby, it's not you it's me
It's not you it's me
