Lyrics Things Happen (Live From An Evening With Dawes) - Dawes

I could go on talking, or I could stop
Wring out each memory 'til I get every drop
Sift through the details of the others involved
The true crime would be thinking, it's just one person's fault

Like an honest signature on a fake ID
Like the guilty conscience with an innocent plea
You can just ignore it, put it out of mind
But ain't it funny how the past won't ever let something lie?

Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen
That's all they ever do

In a different time
On a different floor
I might mourn the loss of who I'm not anymore
So I'm driving up to Oakland for a good look back
And a few revisions to my plan of attack

Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen
That's all they ever do

I think I'll see Lily, see where she stands
I can't help how I feel, I don't think anyone can
Sometimes we're lovers, sometimes we're friends
Behold the magnetism between two dead ends

So let's make a list of all things the world has put you through
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen
That's all they ever do

Let's make a list of all things the world has put you through
(We can qualify the spirit guides we listen to)
Let's raise a glass to all the people you're not speaking to
(Or why are moms compelled to bronze your baby shoes)
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to you
Things happen
That's all they ever do
That's all they ever do
That's all they ever do
That's all they ever do
