C'est La Vie No. 2

I wrote all night

Like the fire of my words could burn a hole up to heaven

I don't write all night burning holes

Up to heaven no more

I stood out in the rain

Like the rain might come and wash my eyes clean

I don't stand out in the rain

To have my eyes washed clean no more

C'est la vie, she says, but I don't know what she means

I say, love, easy, hey, come to me

C'est la vie, she says, but I don't know what she means

I say alright, well c'est la vie

I stood out in the night

In an empty field and I called your name

I don't stand out all night in empty fields

And call your name no more

I waited for days

For your voice to answer to me

I don't wait up for days

For your voice to answer to me no more

C'est la vie, they say, but I don't know what they mean

They say love's easy if you let it be

C'est la vie, they say, but I don't know what they mean

I say alright, well c'est la vie

I say alright, honey, c'est la vie

Ain't that just how it goes, honey, c'est la vie
