How It Goes

The clock is ticking and I don't know where I'm going

I've tried to hide it but lately it's been showing

All of my friends, they seem to not be as important

'Cause I grew up and moved away and got a boyfriend

I think about it when I'm laying on the carpet

I stretch my arms out and pretend that I'm exhausted

I know I need to get a job and an apartment

I'm just stuck

And that's just how it goes

I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow

Just want you to know that I'm on my own now

But I'm finding my way home

Sometimes I catch myself just drowning in the memories

I think about what life was like when I was sixteen

Driving around with all my friends and no worries

I fell asleep and then woke up and now I'm married

My days are long but I've been happier than ever

Hard to believe that everyday I'm getting better

Started to feel the weight lifted off of my shoulders

Time moves fast

But that's just how it goes

I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow

Just want you to know that I'm on my own now

But I'm finding my way home

That's just how it goes

I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow

Just want you to know that I'm on my own now

But I'm finding my way home
