The Way It Goes

[Verse 1] I read the room, then I read the rain Same old storm, but I learn the shape If the day feels bent, I adjust my frame Find a little gold in the chipped-up paint They want doom in the first three bars I want proof that the dark don't last Even cracked glass still catches stars Even slow steps still move you far I been in moods that could fold a bridge Still I kept my pen on the ledge Turned a hard truth into a daily bid A small clean pulse in a broken grid [Pre-Chorus] Look again It ain't all loss One more lens And the fog gets crossed [Chorus] Way it goes, way it goes Keep a calm face, keep the road Bright side bass, let it roll Way it goes, way it goes (take it slow) Way it goes, way it goes Even low tide still can grow Bright side bass, keep control Way it goes, way it goes [instrumental bass drop - stylish glitchy chops - manipulated bass filters] - - - - [Verse 2] I don't worship luck, I respect the shift How the heavy days still make me lift A bruise can teach what a medal missed And a hard no saves you time and risk Got a math of mercy in my chest Add some patience, subtract distress Fold a scar into a proof of rest Every bad break still leaves a test If the bill come due, if the plan gets wild I breathe, reframe, let the nerves get mild You can plant good roots in a loaded mile Still get shade from a crooked smile [Pre-Chorus] Look again It ain't all loss One more lens And the fog gets crossed [Chorus] Way it goes, way it goes Keep a calm face, keep the road Bright side bass, let it roll Way it goes, way it goes (stay in tow) Way it goes, way it goes Even low tide still can grow Bright side bass, keep control Way it goes, way it goes [Bridge] When the weight come down, I don't call it fate I call it shape, I call it state What bends can teach what breaks can't say So I take the lesson and move that way One for the doubt, one for the day One for the self that won't decay If the world gets rough, I still find a lane Still find a tune in the strain [ultra half-time trap style instrumental bass drop - stylish glitchy chops] - - - - [Final Chorus] Way it goes, way it goes Keep a calm face, keep the road Bright side bass, let it roll Way it goes, way it goes (way it goes) Way it goes, way it goes [ethereal outro with chimes and swelling pads]
