Lyrics

You're sitting there in the passenger seat
You're crying a bunch, even though I’ve asked you please be discreet
Cuz there's people around and this won't look good on me

So your car got hit in the parking lot
And your dad ran off with your best friend's mom
Yea it's been a couple hard weeks but honestly what did you think this life would be

Nothing goes your way
That's just the way
It goes my friend

A hundred people died in the last 10 seconds
A bridge collapsed out on highway 11
Still you're looking for somebody to blame
You're feeling sorry for yourself while the world goes up in flames

No I don't mean to get you all in a panic
I guess I’m just not much a romantic
Cuz I’ve seen this all before
If God's on your side, then you're starting a war

Nothing goes your way
That's just the way
It goes my friend

Nothing goes your way
That's just the way
It goes my friend

You're sitting there in the passenger seat
You're crying a bunch, even though I’ve asked you please be discreet
Cuz there's people around, and this won't look good on me
