Lyrics The Way It Is! - Porter

The Way It Is!

Let me tell you about the state I’m in
I got my life held together with a safety pin
Had a vision back in 93' when I wrote a little song about a lemon tree
I could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
This is now and that was then
I never went back again
I had a goldfish and a love that died
I got a heart beating faster on the darker side
Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone
Jack was nimble jack was quick Jack took out the candlestick
He touched the fire and felt the pain
And he never went back again
Let me tell you about the faith I’ve found
Got a train ride and a ticket when I’m heaven bound
Won’t you let me take you by the hand and I’ll lead you from the platform to
the promised land
Chase your tail or chase your goals who knows what the future holds
Hold your breath and count to ten but never go back again
Let me tell you about the state I’m in
I got my life held together with a safety pin
Want to find a place to hide my bones with an orange guitar and a microphone
It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how
It could be bad i could be good some things get misunderstood
That was then and this is now its gotta come good some how
That’s just the way it is
