"So It Goes" Lyrics

Summer went so slow. He was needing to let go.
A desert road brings that old familiar feeling, it grows.
He's wishing it might bring a few happy endings.
So the story goes, you know the one, you know how it goes.
And so it goes...

Pale green eyes, face without a name and a confidence that kills.
Don't say much, can feel it in his touch. He's looking for a thrill.
And so it goes...

Seemingly harmless. It starts with a small kiss.
The drinks they flow and on and on and on it goes.
And then by the window, they put on a hot show.
And all his friends know, but they never thought he'd take it this far.
And so it goes...

Pale green eyes, face without a name and a confidence that kills.
Don't say much, can feel it in his touch. He's looking for a thrill.
And so it goes...

And after the weekend, it's back to the girlfriend.
But she'll never know. She'll never ever, ever know.
And so he goes...

Pale green eyes, face without a name and a confidence that kills.
Don't say much, can feel it in his touch. He's looking for a thrill.
And so he goes...

What he did was wrong, but if I'd known all along,
I would have fallen for him still.
Pale green eyes, can't stop thinkin' of this guy,
and from here it's all uphill.
And so it goes...
