Lyrics

Sittin’ by the sea, ol’ friend, thinkin’ about you
And all we ever tried to do to help us both get through
But all our days weren’t bright enough for standards in the stars
And so we go our separate ways with all our broken parts

CHORUS
And I guess it has to be this way
At least, I think, for now
And if our hearts should both align
We’ll figure it out somehow

But friendships don’t always last, like seasons when they’re due
Sometimes fade so slowly that you don’t even know they’re through
Then you wake up one day early enough to catch the mornin’ light
Next thing you know you’re all alone with nothin’ but your mind to fight
And you wonder when the sun went down

CHORUS
And I guess it has to be this way
At least, I think, for now
And if our hearts should both align
We’ll figure it out somehow
Oh, we might figure it out some-

-How can we go on hurting each other when we know that we are One
Simple Reflections

But even birds like a chalice fly, break apart to dive
They do what they need to do for themselves so the whole community thrives
And just like me you hurt and you bleed. We’re always askin’ why
So let this be the hurt that we need to wake us before we die
Oh let us wake up before we die

CHORUS
I guess it has to be this way
At least, I think, for now
And if our hearts should both align
We’ll figure it out somehow
Oh, we might figure it out somehow
I hope we figure it out somehow

Sittin’ by the sea, ol’ friend, thinkin’ about you.
