It was a beautiful idea when it started
It hit so hard I never thought it through
Leaving the West side of town
Way on up Riverside rushing down
That's the freest moment this city girl ever knew
Ah but the beauty of the moment passed so quickly
Now the tingle and the chill got me confused
So as I buckled down, white knuckled a few rounds
Those free moments feel so far and few
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
And I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
I see you crossing the street to come and meet me
Like an image come to mind from long ago
Well there's a smile across your mouth
But those eyes are looking South
If I could see them what would they let me know?
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
And I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
I've looked and found and lost and started over
I've sown and reaped and ploughed the ground some more
I've laid my hammer down, wandered this city all around
Ended up on streets I've walked before
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
And I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
That's just the way it is
And I can't help myself at all
That's just the way it is
