When It Goes

When It Goes - Ten Tonnes

Nobody knows how

She comes and goes

The river might bend

But the road goes on

I thought I had

It figured out

But then she comes along

And she crossed it out

I look into the mirror

And I brush my teeth

I spit into the sink

And then I think I better leave

Thoughts of you are swimming 'round my head

And then I cave

Drained

I sink into the same routine

I've known for days

And all the time

I wasted trying to be understood

Took a note just to throw it away

Man don't it feel so good

You step into her room

In the pale moonlight

The seconds and hours passing by your eyes

She said it once

And you knew she would

When it goes

When it goes

When it goes

It's gone for good

The rain's been pouring all year long

Don't think about it

Think about it for too long

The razor sharp line that I tread

You trip and then you jump and then

The next you're dead

I'm walking past the pictures

In the hall of fame

You step a little closer

Try to read a name

And suddenly

I wake up in a cold cold sweat

I thought I had it made

But I ain't even started yet

And all the time

I wasted trying to be understood

Took a note just to throw it away

Man don't it feel so good

You step into her room

In the pale moonlight

The seconds and hours passing by your eyes

She said it once

And you knew she would

When it goes

When it goes

When it goes

It's gone for good

I feel it in my bones

And it's crushing my heart

My brain is alive

And it lights up the dark

Ah

You don't know

But you thought you would

Ah

When it goes

When it goes

When it goes

It's gone for good
