Things Happen (Live From An Evening With 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
