The Way It Has to Be

[00:10.02] I'd hate to sabotage a good time
[00:14.92] But I been doing that my whole damn life
[00:18.86] I'm not quite as I seem
[00:21.36] I don't get my kicks stompin' on dreams
[00:24.55] Wild pitch? Take your base
[00:29.12] I made it home without my headlights
[00:33.97] Rode through the night kissing the Brooklyn coastline
[00:38.13] I'm noticing a theme
[00:40.70] A growing space that's in between
[00:43.54] What I do and what I say
[00:46.62] Cause I wanna rock and I wanna roll
[00:51.48] Riding high on the open road
[00:56.10] Yea I want you so bad, but I'm lettin' you go
[01:00.81] So buckle up tight and let me tell you
[01:04.31] It's the way it has to be
[01:08.52] I was born to be running free
[01:13.53] When the tears fill up your eyes
[01:16.30] I know it's hard to see
[01:18.50] That baby, it's not you it's me
[01:24.36] I'll never say one last "I love you"
[01:29.06] With that kind of grace reserved for Roman statues
[01:33.55] But now we've tumbled down
[01:35.72] To little bits all on the ground
[01:38.77] Sweep em up, chuck em out
[01:41.82] Cause I wanna rock and I wanna roll
[01:46.72] Riding high on the open road
[01:50.95] Yea I want you so bad, but I'm lettin' you go
[01:56.05] So buckle up tight and let me tell you
[01:59.41] It's the way it has to be
[02:03.86] I was born to be running free
[02:08.88] When the tears fill up your eyes
[02:11.44] I know it's hard to see
[02:13.46] That baby, it's not you it's me
[02:20.46] How many times will I learn?
[02:24.39] I just keep hurting myself
[02:29.13] How many times must I learn?
[02:34.06] I just keep doing it again
[02:59.18] It's the way it has to be
[03:04.06] I was born to be running free
[03:08.77] When the tears fill up your eyes
[03:11.41] I know it's hard to see
[03:13.48] That baby, it's not you it's me
[03:18.43] It's the way it has to be
[03:23.00] I was born to be running free
[03:28.18] When the tears fill up your eyes
[03:30.55] I know it's hard to see
[03:32.63] That baby, it's not you it's me
[03:38.50] It's not you it's me
[03:42.85]
