No One Told Me (That’s How It Goes) Lyrics

No one told me I was gonna die

Old age moves without a cue

Even if I'm told it's gonna come right out of the sky

There's just no way you can outgrow that kind of blues

As for the blues, we all have something

Worth having placed in the way

To make us know that love is painful

And that blue is more nuanced than grey

That's how it goes

(That's how it goes)

That's how it goes

(That's how it goes)

That's how it goes

(That's how it goes)

And so I sit here counting reasons

I am an intellectual at best

Counting reasons for making sense of heartache

Insisting it's all just a test

And the tides are growing

And flowing in all of my veins

There will be a flood where I'm going

So I won't have to hide from the rain

No one tells you when you're gonna die

(That's how it goes)

No one tells you when you're gonna die

(That's how it goes)

No one tells you when you're gonna die

(That's how it goes)

No one tells you when you're gonna die
