The Way

Girl got her head in the clouds Boy obsessed with making sounds TV turned so, so damn loud Parents never learned how to turn it down Police choking a black man School shootings kids doing heroin Boy quit smiling you must got your head in the sand Girl quit dreaming oh look she's at it again That's just the way that it That's just the way it is yeah The world keeps trying to hold the colors back But you can see them slipping through the cracks That's just the way it is yeah She dropped out of college after her parents paid her way All her friends said "girl you've gone insane" They swore to God that she had had had it made Now she's throwing her life away to paint The boy he's still making his E.P. His girlfriend dumped him she said that he's a deadbeat Just another human being who can't see what we see Sometimes life can be a tragedy But that's just the way that it That's just the way it is yeah The world keeps trying to hold the colors back But you can see them slipping through the cracks That's just the way it is yeah Caught in a rut Put on a front Just to make it through Holding your breath With every step And hope it leads to Something Different Better Than this But that's just the way that it That's just the way it is yeah It'll be so much better when you're looking back You can see it slipping through the cracks That's just the way that it That's just the way it is yeah The world keeps trying to hold the colors back But you can see them slipping through the cracks That's just the way it is yeah
