lyrics

It's kinda funny how things play out.
The things you learn that you can live without.
It's humerous without a doubt.
The words you never thought would leave your mouth...

...Are now slipping out through the day.
And it sure isn't the prettiest phrase
When you say what you gotta say.
But hey... Who said life was easy anyway?

'Cuz feelings, have a tendancy to get hurt
When you're involving passion.
'Guess they don't teach you to sugar coat things
When you're growing up in Akron.
Naturally, so naturally,
These things seem to happen.
These things happen. These things happen.
Mmm. These things happen.

It's kinda funny how people act.
And it's always the ones you least expect.
And the ones that you soon regret.
Yet somethin' deep in you says, "Never Forget."

'Cuz feelings, have a tendancy to get hurt
When you're involving passion.
'Guess they don't teach you to sugar coat things
When you're growing up in Akron.
Naturally, so naturally,
These things seem to happen.
These things happen. These things happen.
Mmm. These things happen.
