The Time It Takes Lyrics by The Show Ponies

How It All Goes Down

2017

[Verse 1]
If we would've met when we were younger
I don't think we would have fallen in love
You were the queen of homecoming
And a member of the country club
I was a jack backyard cinema
With flowing locks of gold
And I had a heavy conscience
So I did what I was told
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny where we were back then
Ain't it funny where we are right now
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
[Verse 2]
If you could've seen me in the hard times
My face when I was young
I would've seen you s a trophy
For the hell I'd overcome
Now I'm not the one I was back then
And the struggles don't define me
I met you in that holy heat
Now let the fire re-find me
[Chorus]
Ain't it funny where we were back then
Ain't it funny where we are right now
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
[Verse 3]
All the fire we go through
God only knows what time will do
All the promises we make
God only knows the time it takes
So take my hand, take my name
God only knows why we change
Take my hand, take my name
God only knows why we change
[Chorus/Outro]
Ain't it funny where we were back then
Ain't it funny where we are right now
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
Ain't it funny where we were back then
Ain't it funny where we are right now
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
It's strange the time it takes for us
To finally start to figure it out
