"Whatever Happens Now" lyrics

First light
Frostbitten train tracks
A new sky
Wild in my ways
My first love lying beside me
Back when time couldn't touch me
Old scars
Oceans apart
A strong back but broken at heart
I stayed tucked under the covers
Where I could hide away

All of the little changes
How my accent faded
How my dreams weren't mine anymore
Oh, no

We had the whole world
Now we got nothing
We knew the right words
But said the wrong thing
And you do your best
Still there will be days when
Life's gonna bring you down
You hold on
Hoping you'll make it
We saw it different
But wanted the same thing
So I let go
And open my arms to whatever happens now

Short breath
Still out of place
When your hands swept me away
We were both torn
Desperate to save it
We tried our best baby, didn't we
You saw me losing my old friends
You held me through all those moments
And I knew you'd be the hardest thing yet to lose

All of the little changes
In the conversations
How my heart wasn't yours anymore
And we know

We had the whole world
Now we got nothing
We knew the right words
But said the wrong thing
And you do your best
Still there will be days when
Life's gonna bring you down
You hold on, hoping you'll make it
We saw it different
But wanted the same thing
So I let go
And open my arms to whatever happens now
