"Way Things Work" lyrics

If you want a splinter
That's easy
Go on run your hand along against that grain
If you want bitter
Best believe me
Gas station coffee will set you straight

But if we want love
We should've known better
Oil mixed with water
Just don't mix together
Austin's where the hippies go
Cowboys ride through San Antone
There's a way things work in this world
And girl, we just don't

What were we thinking
Should've seen it
Forever with no key just won't start
My stubborn dreaming
My selfish reasons
We were built to fall apart
Bound to break our hearts

But if we want love
We should've known better
Oil mixed with water
Just don't mix together
Austin's where the hippies go
Cowboys ride through San Antone
There's a way things work in this world
And boy, we just don't

I should just move on
I should let it go
Wasn't all for nothing cause now we know

If we want love
Should've known better
Oil mixed with water
Just don't mix together
Austin's where the hippies go
Cowboys ride through San Antone
There's a way things work in this world
And girl, we just don't
Boy we just don't
We just don't
