Intro
I had a plan that you and I would go off into eternity
We d drive away and never ever come back, yeah
I had it all worked out and I wished on my lucky star that
Everything I hoped and dreamed would all come true
Then my mama came up to me and said
Baby dont wish your heart out cuz I
Dont want you to have to learn the hard way that
Well, baby, sometimes
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Not everything will turn out as they seem
Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing
Till the pieces come together
I know how hard it is to not lose faith
When everything is not going your way
But you really got to think about it
And well maybe its for the better
I drove into school on Monday, the day when you and I were gona fly
And I stood there waiting for you to come along
I watched you pull up in your car and get out and
walk over to your friends
You didnt even see me standing there waiting for you
I felt like running and hiding and crying
And never showing my face again
I felt like there was no hope in anything ever turning right again
Because
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Not everything will turn out as they seem
Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing
Till the pieces come together
I know how hard it is to not lose faith
When everything is not going you way
But you really got to think about it
And well maybe its for the better
I stayed up all night thinking bout how
Everything had gone all wrong
Felt like I would never ever see the sun again
I tried to think and bring something good out of it
And so now at least I know
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Not everything will turn out as they seem
You re not always gona get your perfect story
Not everything will turn out as they seem
Just gotta keep moving, pushing, climbing
Till the pieces come together
I know how hard it is to not lose faith
When everything is not going you way
But you really got to think about it
And well maybe its for the better, well, maybe its, maybe its, maybe
its for the better
