The way it worked

Sitting down by the fire place Ice cream melts in our hands for days Damn I wish nothing good had changed Was it really all this way? Lakes around nothing but old dirt Small old town we visit on this earth Brown old eyes I could never hurt I guess this was the way it worked Just the way it worked Missing times you and me Through books and reality Remembering the sand in our feet That show that made us fall asleep Yeah that show we fell asleep Knew I was struggling Knew I was done Knew I was upset But you made it fun Making me happy forgetting that junk Making me smile and you always won And now your done I guess thats just the way it worked My best friend I lost her first No one ever hurts her But thats just the way it worked I knew that you were gone I knew you kept it strong I knew that you were gone I know this isn't wrong But thats just the way it worked
