[ Featuring Craig Cardiff ]
You build me up and I sandcastle down
And the waves they take me away
Yet the sound of your voice leaves me no choice
But to stay
Why is it when you're around the streets of my town
I'm left overthrown?
I'd ask you for a minute
But it seems you'd rather be in it alone
Maybe I should know
That this is the way it always goes
This is the way it always goes
Does hope ever end?
And can you keep defending
Spend your days fighting the light?
If you try will we ever get this right?
'Cause you get in these ruts
Close all the doors you can shut
But you never let them know where they stand
Tell me do you play with the children out in the yard
Or with the band?
But it's hard you know
If this is the way it always goes
Is this the way it always goes?
Are we wasting time with lines that don't rhyme
Floating stones on the water and air?
I've patiently waited
With my heart all deflated and bare
I guess that I should always know
That this is the way it always goes
This is the way it always goes
Always goes
This the way it always goes
Is this the way it always goes?
Is this the way it always goes?
Always goes
Always goes
Always goes
Always goes
Always goes
Is this the way it always goes?
(Always goes)
Is this the way it (always goes)
Always goes
Always goes
(Always goes)
(Always goes)
(Always goes)
Is this the way it (always goes)
Always goes
