lyrics

How It Goes
Well the stars were out on boxing day
I saw her dancing
Singing her fool heart out with no one else around

Yeah she missed her chance
She missed the boat
Her song unsung
Her words untold
The stage prepared
She’ll never know
Maybe, that’s just how it goes

So I knew this woman, I saw her every day
She didn’t know that I know she’s got a million secrets
tucked away

She’d probly kill me, if she knew
Even now
Again the muse
But how can I give her a turn
She’s just a woman I knew

She says – I got something to show you
I hope you’ll join me
But it’s perfectly, perfectly, perfectly, perfect, if you don’t
So she throws her wisdom to the wind
She sings her song
No one will hear

She had it all
She kept it all
In

So the stars were out on boxing day
I saw her dancing
Singing her fool heart out with no one else around

She says I missed my chance
I missed the boat
my song unsung
My words untold
The stage prepared
I’ll never know
Maybe, that’s just how it goes
