Rachael Yamagata - The Way It Seems to Go lyrics

My friends become my foes And my foes become my friends I tend to fall in love with the girls My boyfriend ends I don't work 9 to 5 But I'll always work the weekends And each time I'll get the world In my fingers something happens I'm working backwards, forwards And left to right And I'm pretty darn hard headed But I can't make up my mind I'll take a tragedy over a fairytale But only when the sun is shining I'll be the voice of hope in your darkest hour I'm an expert in the silver lining I'll be there when you need me For all the big things But I'm really pathetic at perfect timing And that's the way it seems to go for me I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 4.30 Most day I drink like a fish and tend to be too flirty I am a perfectionist but only when things get dirty I cannot stand small talk but I'm great at being wordy And I'd rather leave you first But then I'll be begging you to come back And when I get real quiet You know I'm about to attack I'll take a walk in the rain or a drive in the dark But only when everyone's celebrating I'll dig in to your pain and tear it apart But only to help the heart that's breaking I like to figure things out and make everything right But I'm secretly thrilled when everything's changing And that's the way it seems to go for me If you fall for the part that's brooding and dark You will never discover the rest of my heart And I want you to see that there's so much to see Just before I declare you never knew me He's with the small stuff like the world around was over I calm him down and we make breakfast for each other Our friends all thought we fit so perfectly together He likes what he can't have and I sure like bad weather I may have left him first But I think he'd been leaving for sometime I feel like begging him to come back But I can't make up my mind I'll take a boxing match over the quiet night But only to make for better dreams I'll back the underdog in any fight But only to fight for something worth keeping I'm in it to win it, most of the time And if it goes down I'll be kicking and screaming And that's the way it seems to go for me Yeah, and that's the way it seems to go for me Whoa, and that's the way it seems to go for me
