Wolf Parade What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had To Go This Way) lyrics

What did my lover say
When she was driving with you?
I could not see her face
From my new bed

I don't think I should be sorry
For things I do in dreams
Just like the tumbling birds
Come tumbling down

I got a sandcastle heart
Made out of fine black sand
Sometimes it turns into glass
When she gets hot

I wonder if all the beaches
In all your holiday towns
Will turn to giant shining earrings
Against the cheek of the sea
When finally this supernova goes down

Just like my lover said

See
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way

It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way

I sleep all night with the light on
And dream about the sun
Maybe because of the light
Maybe because of the sun

I got a friend who's a genius
Nobody listens to him
I got some friends that got famous
La, la, la, la, la, la, lala

I don't think I should say sorry
For things I do in dreams
Some people live like they're falling
Some people die in their sleep

It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
