Happens to Us All Otherwise Lyrics by Bound Stems

The Family Afloat

0

[Verse 1]
In all my life and all my years
We take it till it hurts then wait until it heals
We watch the night dry up and take the lonely ride
We're not going into work if you're right
Oh, take my place, a stand-up kid
I was thinking all about it 'cause I knew where we'd been
Shifted in his chair with a sheer delight
It took me weeks for these words, weeks to admit I was right
[Pre-Chorus]
And there's a lot of everything
Oh, till it goes, oh till it goes
And there's a lot of everything
[Chorus]
March till you fall, and listen to it fade away
Fumble at the door, while the telephone rings, the telephone rings
And has it been a week yet, fine
Linger in the revelry
It happens to us all otherwise
Turn while we run, but act like you mean it
[Post-Chorus]
She says we've got one foot out the door
She says we've got one foot out the door
She says we've got one foot out the door
[Verse 3]
In all my life, all my years
We waited till it's over, waited till we're here
We see the car drive up and the kids play nice
Be sure to rest up for the night
All my love, all my tears
Yes, you made a difference, yes, you made it clear
We watch the sky light up and shake from side to side
It took me years for these words, years to admit I was right
[Pre-Chorus]
And so we go for everything
And oh, so it goes, oh so it goes
And so we go for everything
[Chorus]
March till you fall, and listen to it fade away
Fumble at the door, while the telephone rings, the telephone rings
And has it been a week yet, fine
Linger in the revelry
It happens to us all otherwise
Turn while we run, in an effort to keep it one place
[Post-Chorus]
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
[Outro]
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
We say she's got one foot out the door
