"Way It's Gotta Be (Oh Yeah)" lyrics

There is something that I want that I just can't seem to find
Stranded somewhere in my head, in the backstreets of my mind
All the bright ideas quickly fall and fade away
Or maybe you can keep them somewhere for a rainy day

Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be
Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be

Can it be so simple that it's just too plain to see
All the while the answers have been stood in front of me
There is nothing you can give me that I really need
Just the freedom to be myself and to have the thoughts I keep

Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be
Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be

It's getting too late, too late to find
Now the sun is sinking in the sky
It's getting too dark, too dark to see
Where this feeling is taking me

Woah yeah
Oh yeah

All the things you've stolen
Won't you give them back to me
Standing in the doorway is like a beggar or a thief
All the good intentions in which the road to hell is paved
I've got to keep believing somehow someday you'll be saved

Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be
Oh no, oh yeah, that's just the way it's got to be
