The Way It Seems To Go

My friends become my foesAnd my foes become my friendsI tend to fall in love with the girlsMy boyfriend endsI don't work 9 to 5But I'll always work the weekendsAnd each time I'll get the worldIn my fingers something happensI'm working backwards, forwardsAnd left to rightAnd I'm pretty darn hard headedBut I can't make up my mindI'll take a tragedy over a fairytaleBut only when the sun is shiningI'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hourI'm an expert in the silver liningI'll be there when you need meFor all the big thingsBut I'm really pathetic at perfect timingAnd that's the way it seems to go for meI go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30Most day I drink like a fish and tend to be too flirtyI am a perfectionist but only when things get dirtyI cannot stand small talk but I'm great at being wordyAnd I'd rather leave you firstBut then I'll be begging you to come backAnd when I get real quietYou know I'm about to attackI'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the darkBut only when everyone's celebratingI'll dig in to your pain and tear it apartBut only to help the heart that's breakingI like to figure things out and make everything rightBut I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changingAnd that's the way it seems to go for meIf you fall for the part that's brooding and darkYou will never discover the rest of my heartAnd I want you to see that there's so much to seeJust before I declare you never knew meHe's with the small stuff like the world around was overI calm him down and we make breakfast for each otherOur friends all thought we fit so perfectly togetherHe likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weatherI may have left him firstBut I think he'd been leaving for sometimeI feel like begging him to come backBut I can't make up my mindI'll take a boxing match over the quiet nightBut only to make for better dreamsI'll back the underdog in any fightBut only to fight for something worth keepingI'm in it to win it, most of the timeAnd if it goes down I'll be kicking and screamingAnd that's the way it seems to go for meYeah, and that's the way it seems to go for meWhoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me
