I wrote all night
Like the fire of my words
Could burn a hole up to heaven
I don’t write all night burning holes
Up to heaven no more
I stood out in the rain
Like the rain might come
And wash my eyes clean
I don’t stand out in the rain
To have my eyes washed clean no more
C’est la vie she says
But I don’t know what she means
I say “Love, easy, hey come to me”
C’est la vie she says
But I don’t know what that means
I say alright, well
C’est la vie
I stood out in the night
In an empty field and I called your name
I don’t stand out all night in empty fields
And call your name no more
I waited for days
For your voice to answer to me
I don’t wait up for days
For your voice to answer to me no more
C’est la vie they say
But I don’t know what they mean
I say love’s easy if you let it be
C’est la vie they say
But I don’t know what that means
I say alright, well
C’est la vie
I say alright, honey
C’est la vie
Ain’t that just how it goes, honey
C’est la vie
