Lyrics
[Chorus]
And there's so much left to say
I guess I'm just the bigger guy
And there's too much on my mind
That I don't even want to try
Guess it's not far from the ordinary
They do say love is blind
But I guess that's the way things go
[Verse 1]
Can't remember how to say your name
Let alone count all the freckles on your face
A distant memory I used to know
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
[Verse 2]
Can't remember when you said you called
Miles away and it was still my fault
The love you said you had, it sometimes showed
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
[Chorus]
There's so much left to say
I guess I'm just the bigger guy
And there's too much on my mind
That I don't even want to try
Guess it's not far from the ordinary
They do say love is blind
But I guess that's the way things go
[Verse 3]
Didn't think you'd ever stoop so low
Getting with the only girl you know
A lousy route that only makes me say
That's pretty lame and that's the way things go
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
[Verse 4]
Passed your house when I was on a train
In my mind, you'll always stay the same
I'm happy now, I ought to let you know
But I guess that's just the way things go
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
[Outro]
And I don't mind that that's the way things go
And I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
I don't mind, I don't mind
Oh, I guess that's just the way things go
Oh, I guess that's the way things go
