Ain't That the Way

Remember times back on the train
Counting roofs and taking names
Knew every line to “Stand By Me”
A love so blind we couldn’t see
I loved you more than you loved me

If I had known then what I know
There’s certain places we can’t go
But the demons in my mind came to tease me one last time
It doesn’t matter who you know

I’m 35 and I’m losing my mind cause I feel the same
Oh, I’m caught in a hurricane
Someone show me some grace
I had a plan, saw it play out up on a big movie screen
It ended with you and me
That film never played
But ain’t that the way

I memorized every wall
Missing notes, unanswered calls
It’s funny how some people change
Mostly we just stay the same
Same old dreams, we’ve had them all

Inside everyone is young
They’re counting stars and being dumb
The time that graced me with its hand
Shook it once and not again
I’ll love you right until the end

I’m 45 and I’m keeping in line like you always say
“The futures a day away”
Mine came wrapped up in lace
Had I’d know if I picked the phone, it would be erased
I thank God in a million ways, for showing me grace
But ain’t that way

Ain’t that the way
That it goes
Like the bird in your hand
Ain’t that the way
You can try
but you won’t understand
Ain’t that the way
That it goes
Like a bird on the wind
Ain’t that the way
Ain’t that the way
