That's the Way It Happens
Me And Juliet Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well you see that I can not be

I don't know where I can find
I don't know where to sit and mind
And I don't know what's going on
A way to bugger myself up

I don't know where I find

The peace and serenity that I do need
And I don't know what's going on
Please come and help me to cover this

You don't know where you can find
You don't know where to sit and mind
And you don't know what's going on
A way to bugger yourself up

You don't know where you find
The peace and serenity that you do need
And you don't know what's going on
Please come and help her to cover this

We don't know where we can find
We don't know where to sit and mind
And we don't know what's going on
A way to bugger ourselves up

We don't know where we find
The peace and serenity that we do need
And we don't know what's going on
Please come and help us to cover this

I don't know anything
That's the reason that I can sing and

You would be wanted here
That's the way it is

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "That's the Way It Happens" by Me and Juliet express a feeling of confusion, uncertainty, and a search for answers. The singer admits that they don't know where to find peace and serenity nor do they understand what's going on in their life. They're asking for someone to help them find a way to navigate through their circumstances and to cover them during their journey. The repetition of the lines "You don't know where you can find" and "We don't know where we can find" portrays a collective feeling of being lost and not knowing the next step. However, the lines "I don't know anything/That's the reason that I can sing/And you would be wanted here/That's the way it is" communicate a sense of acceptance and that even in the midst of uncertainty, there is hope for a better future.

The lyrics also speak to the idea that sometimes it's okay not to have all the answers. The line "I don't know anything/That's the reason that I can sing" suggests that accepting one's limitations can lead to artistic expression and creativity. Additionally, the repetition of the phrase "That's the way it is" implies that sometimes we just have to accept things the way they are and move forward.
