Things You Call Fate

I find it hard, hard to let go

And you are entitled to know

You have brought nothing else but bliss

A great deal of frustration

Voluntary occupation

Driving me insane and off the wall

And we were free to choose each other

Now it seems like something other

Have you placed me where I stand?

We turned caring, like a mother

Afraid to lose each other

It got us this far

Now problems are:

I have no bags to pack

No suitcase waiting in the hall

You have no make-up

No stockings in my drawer

Oh, how did we forget?

Could we forget?

It's easy to learn if you never regret

When you live in paranoia

And you know she's got you, oh yeah

You can't leave until you know the truth

So for months you're going nowhere

Until you seize the day and place yourself

Behind the steering wheel

Oh you can't act like you don't want to

The opposite of what you planned to

You can watch the ships when they're abroad

Become a joke when people see you

'Cause it's enough to please you

We got this far

Step out of the car

I have no bags to pack

No suitcase waiting in the hall

You have no make-up

No stockings in my drawer

Oh, how did we forget?

Could we forget?

It's easy to learn if you never regret

We'll never learn in the future

This is it, seemingly I am sure

I know we haven't been together now

It wasn't meant to be this way

So we'll give it days and days

And we'll try to make it easy now

Once I believed we could approach this

Now I have faith placed in the things you call fate

In the things you call fate

In the things you call fate
