about

That's How It Goes is about falling in love, heartbreak, picking up the pieces, and moving on.

It features the groovy bass playing of Josh Mayes and a dazzling sax solo taken by Andy Demos.

lyrics

I was alone, a little lost inside
Looking for a love that could spark my soul and set me free
Open the door that had no key

You came along, you sat down at the bar

Looking like an angel from heaven
With those wavy, long brown locks
You ordered whiskey on the rocks
I said that it was on me

And I was melting inside
While we were flying up so high the world looked pretty from there
Holding your hand, my heart floating through the air
Everything was feeling right
It didn’t matter what we did or who we’d know
I never wanted to let that feeling go

As time went on, those roots ran deep
Gave you my world and I showed you every little secret of my soul
We found a love that made us whole

But out of the blue, without a clue
You packed your bags and left me to die
In this world so cold and cruel
You broke my heart and ripped it apart in two

I was unraveling fast
I started falling down so hard, spinning out of control
Losing my grip, and hopelessly dying alone

But that’s the way that it goes
And I just want to let you know I’ll be alright
I’m way too strong to fall without a fight

I’ll be alright
No don’t you worry about me tonight
I’ll crawl on through the dark
And find the light
Yeah, I will get by
I’ll be alright

Yeah’s there’s a big ol’ beautiful world spinning round for me
The other day, drifting away

Dusting off an old box of photos
When I saw a face I knew
We were smiling and laughing too

Well don’t you know, that’s how life goes
We had our fun yeah it was nice while it lasted
But we all gotta move along
And keep on living even after they’re gone

Now that I’m out on my own
Making the most and mending a heart that’s been ripped and torn
Chasing new dreams and taking the world by storm
I really hope you find someone and live happily
And hope they love you half as much as me
