When It Goes Lyrics

Nobody knows how she comes and goes
The river might bend but the road goes on
I thought I had it figured out
But then she comes along and she crossed it out

I look into the mirror and I brush my teeth
I spit into the sink and then I think I better leave
Thoughts of you are swimming 'round my head and then I cave
Drained, I sink into the same routine I've known for days

And all the time I wasted trying to be understood
Took a note just to throw it away
Man, don't it feel so good?
You step into her room in the pale moonlight
The seconds and hours passing by your еyes
She said it once and you knеw she would
When it goes, when it goes, when it goes
It's gone for good

The rain's been pouring all year long
Don't think about it, think about it for too long
The razor sharp line that I tread
You trip and then you jump and then, the next, you're dead

I'm walking past the pictures in the hall of fame
You step a little closer, try to read a name
And, suddenly, I wake up in a cold, cold sweat
I thought I had it made, but I ain't even started yet

And all the time I wasted trying to be understood
Took a note just to throw it away
Man, don't it feel so good?
You step into her room in the pale moonlight
The seconds and hours passing by your eyes
She said it once and you knew she would
When it goes, when it goes, when it goes
It's gone for good


I feel it in my bones, and it's crushing my heart
My brain is alive and it lights up the dark
Ah, you don't but you thought you would
Ah, when it goes, when it goes, when it goes
It's gone for good
