The Way It Goes Lyrics by Nadia Reid

Preservation

2017

[Verse 1]
I was on my way to him
There are shadows on the straight line
I’m growing weaker by the day now
Oh, it’s awful, ain't it?
[Verse 2]
I am looking out my window
I am looking for my friend
It’s been weeks since I have seen you
Oh, I never dreamed it would end
[Chorus]
It’s the way it goes
It’s sad, it’s slow
You will go to be her man
I will love you if I can
[Verse 3]
I look back to when I held you
All the color left my skin
There is dust beneath a harbor
Oh, I never let you in
[Verse 4]
You are driving a new car now
Your hand begins to shake
You go to cross the centerline
And drive into the bottom of the lake
[Chorus]
It’s the way it goes
It’s sad, it’s slow
You will go to be her man
I will love you if I can
[Verse 3]
I am looking out my window
I am looking for a friend
It’s been weeks since I have seen you
Oh, I never dreamed it would end
