Lyrics

You Know How it Goes

I’ve been meaning to call for some time, it’s true,
Now I find your phone is dead and so are you,
I’m sorry I waited a little too long,
Ah, but you know how it goes
‘Cause you’re gone.

We were never that close except that one time,
I unzipped your heart for you and you unzipped mine,
And in that sacred moment no one was wrong,
Ah, but you know how it goes,
That moment is gone.

Won’t you meet me tonight Down here below,
In your pretty, pretty garden
Where that old tree grows,
We can dance around it,
I’ll whisper your name,
You know how it goes,
It was your favorite game.

When I saw you last night you didn’t look good,
Cobbled all together like that with wire and wood,
And suckinG from that bottle I may one day sip,
You know how it goes
With a morphine drip

Now that you have crossed that last finish line,
There’s some things you could clear up about the other side,
And all he said, I swear it, I’ll swear it all night long,
Was you’ll know how it goes,
When you’re gone.

Won’t you meet me tonight
Down here below,
In your pretty, pretty garden
Where that old tree grows,
We can dance around it,
We’ll sing your favorite song,
You know how it goes,
So come on, sing along,

You’ll know how it goes when you’re gone,
You’ll know how it goes when you’re gone.
