Say What

If you wait
If you wander
If you draw it out a little bit longer
They say
Time flies
Fortune smiles
Nothing new is under the sun

If you choose
If you chase it
If you know it by the look on their faces
They say
Hearts will heal
Fates are sealed
Anyway, that's what they say

If you fake
If you're sorry
Take your leave before the end of the party
They say
Milk spills
Kindness kills
And character's a destiny

If you doubt
If you suffer
Or sing about it for your bread or your butter
They say
Silence speaks
Life repeats
Anyway, that's what they say

Look, look what's right in front of your eyes
They say you might be here a while

If you live
If you labor
Or disappear like you owe someone the favor
They say
Skin crawls
The sky falls
And everything ought to get its own place

If you cry
If you're healing
Or so in touch you just don't know what you're feelin'
They say
Shit happens
Leave 'em laughing

Anyway, that's what they say
Anyway, that's what they say
