Ain't That Just The Way (Radio Edit)

He was a very special warm and gentle person

Who put in music in the world and spoken in rhyme

And it hurts me that i never really knew him

'cause all it would have taken was some time

You know he always seemed to be there when i stumbled

And when mountains got to steep for me to climb

And it tears me up to think i never touched him

'cause all it would have taken was some time

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone i should know

Now he's in another place and i can't reach him

And i feel as though i'm guilty of a crime

I took all he had to give and gave him nothin'

And all it would have taken was some time

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone i should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone i should know

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow

Gettin' up, gettin' high, gettin' down

Gettin' no, no, nowhere

But not gettin' into someone i should know

Ain't that just the way that life goes

Down, down, down, down

Movin' way too fast or much too slow
