It Just Happened That Way
Andy Davis Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So I stand up
Feel the needles in my feet
And my legs are still asleep
But it's the morning

Fold the blankets
Shake the grass out of the sheets
Throw it all in my back seat
And drive you home

Yeah knowing me and knowing you
The stars could not have had a clue
We never meant to start this thing between us

It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind

It just happned that way
No time to invest
Ya just pray for the best
And you say
It just happened that way
Just happened that way

By tomorrow
We may be the talk of town
Yeah word will get around
That we're together

Oh but the thing is, girl
They will never understand
It was just an accident
That kinda worked out

Yeah knowing me and knowing you
I think we can both agree
We never meant to start this thing between us

It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind

It just happned that way
Mo time to invest
Just pray for the best
And you say

Oh love
We could run yeah, we could run away
Thinking it over
We could run yeah, we should run away
Would you come with me
We could run yeah, we should run away
Thinking it over

I'm smiling
Cause I know that they will see
Our straight and narrow ways just took a turn
We'll take a highway without ever looking back
And in ten years we can laugh at how we got there

Yeah knowing me and knowing you
The stars could not have had a clue
We never meant to start this thing between us

It just happened that way
Ya know sometimes it does
Sometimes the planets align
And you both lose time
Can't change your mind

It just happened that way
No time to invest
Just pray for the best
Oh and I know it's a mess
We'll pray for the best
We'll say




It just happened that way
Just happened that way
