"These Things Happen" lyrics
"These Things Happen"
My last time on an airplane
I sat beside a famous woman
You may have seen her doing a cold plunge
I know she once slept with
A friend of mine, he didn't like it
I went out to dinner with them once
And it gets cold in April, rent is always rising
There's a kid in Tulsa who needs something to say
A bitter golden apple, it shouldn't be surprising
It's a fact of life in this kind of place
These things happen
These things happen
And the friend of mine, no longer with us
His whole life fit in one dumpster
I saw them throwing all his stuff away
And the famous woman intimated
That he was kind of asking for it
But no one really wants to die that way
And it gets cold in April, but we'll just keep on singing
There's a girl in Dallas dreaming about fame
A bitter golden apple, what all were you thinking?
It's a fact of life in this kind of place
These things happen
These things happen
And sometimes they don't have your name on the guest list at the door
And sometimes you don't pick up a phone call and they don't call anymore
These things happen
These things happen
These things happen
These things happen

No signs that show the way back home

Every step I take makes a hollow sound
Should I walk away, should I push on through?
What in the world can a good man do?

Wild Rivers - "Amsterdam" It was always Amsterdam
Where we would put the distance to an end
We had a plan
Gonna lay it out on a queen-sized bed
Catching up on twenty-one
Meet all your friends back home
That was not what it...
Riley Pearce - "Electricity" Those Sunday morning breakfast conversations
Flicking through the paper's real estate pages
Sipping on homes we can't afford
What's it like to have coffee on that porch?
Ooh, and I don't care if we...
Nathaniel Rateliff - "Time Stands" For a moment I could wait to see it fall apart
Every empty bed in every city I've been
I sit and contemplate all the moments you said
Time stands in a duel and I stand for you
What's that you used...
