Like They Should Lyrics by Levi Lowrey

Roots & Branches

2016

When I was young I coulda sworn 
That I'd set the world on fire
Take the world by storm 
With my words Wires and wood
Things don't always turn out like they should
I really thought you'd be around
In sickness and in health 
In the country or in town
Better or worse bad and good
But things don't always turn out like they should
I've chased dreams just to watch them burn
Been deemed unworthy of the things I earned
It's a side effect of living You'd change it if You could
Things don't always turn out like they should
Grandma got sick back in o'twelve
We asked God not to take her
Wanted her for ourselves
Got our answer one Friday night
Yeah things don't always turn out like we'd like
I've chased dreams just to watch them burn
Been deemed unworthy of the things I earned
It's a side effect of living You'd change it if You could
Things don't always turn out like they should
There's a tree out in the yard
Reaching toward the heavens
Trying to touch the stars
Thunderstorm laid it down
All it's good intentions on the ground
I split it up. I built a fire
Warming up my family with its funeral pyre
So who knows. Maybe it' good
Things don't always turn out like they should
I've chased dreams just to watch them burn
Been deemed unworthy of the things I earned
It's a side effect of living wouldn't change it if I could
Things don't always turn out like they should
