"How It Goes" lyrics

The clock is ticking and I don't know where I'm going
I've tried to hide it but lately it's been showing
All of my friends, they seem to not be as important
'Cause I grew up and moved away and got a boyfriend
I think about it when I'm laying on the carpet
I stretch my arms out and pretend that I'm exhausted
I know I need to get a job and an apartment
I'm just stuck

And that's just how it goes
I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow
Just want you to know that I'm on my own now
But I'm finding my way home

Sometimes I catch myself just drowning in the memories
I think about what life was like when I was sixteen
Driving around with all my friends and no worries
I fell asleep and then woke up and now I'm married
My days are long but I've been happier than ever
Hard to believe that everyday I'm getting better
Started to feel the weight lifted off of my shoulders
Time moves fast

But that's just how it goes
I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow
Just want you to know that I'm on my own now
But I'm finding my way home

That's just how it goes
I wanted to grow up fast when you said take it slow
Just want you to know that I'm on my own now
But I'm finding my way home
