This Is Just How Things Are Video (MV)

Don't know where I might go
But you, you make me crazy
Whenever I feel low
Seeing you makes me happy

Walk the beach as the sunsets
With you, it just elates me
You make my heart glow
And it feels amazing

When we first met and locked eyes
It sure was evident
I saw a chance to turn from scorn
Back to an old sentiment
You lit up the sky like Katy Perry back in 2010
The most I could hope for at the moment is good conversation
Between you and I
This ain't do or die
But you've got some looks and style to match, oh girl why
Do you gotta be like Gambino, Oh So, So Fly
I wish I would've took a chance, and taken your look as a sign

From hello I noted chemistry
We had a lot of things in common
Delightful, yes indeed
Vibin, not even f*ckin tryin
Just sorta get along
That's the shit I know I am dyin
To have, In my life
Bleeding hearts just like a Mayan
I was still charred
In my heart
I was still barred
In my soul
I was still f*cked
In my head
Wishin that I
Could be whole
Please, please, please just allow me a chance
Too, too, too, cowardly to advance

I can count the nights we spent on the porch on one hand
That I can't stand, Self reprimand
Might end up regretting it forever, won't make that mistake again
Texting can only push a nigga so far, It's so hard
Introversially scarred
We both droppin hints left and right
But too f*ckin scared to bite
If I was more of a risk taker
Maybe then I could win
But I made you a heartbreaker like Marina
All cause I couldn't finish a sentence
Fate's collusion, forced myself into delusion
"There's no way she could've liked me."
But still when you're in my sight see I

Don't know where I might go
But you, you make me crazy
Whenever I feel low
Seeing you makes me happy

Walk the beach as the sunsets
With you, it just elates me
You make my heartbeat glow
And it feels amazing

Act 2
F*cking high school
Elaborate game of chance
Never get to pick your teacher or classmates with whom you'll prance
Only coin toss in my favor was lunch but even then
Different friends, different tables
Shit sounds like a new age fable
Droning through the day to day
Thinking bout what I'd say
Whenever I see your face
Too pussy to voice a thang
Time, oh time, it passes quick
Hopefully I'll get a tick
By the time prom came around
It was way too late now
Time, oh time passes again
One year, now we meet as friends
You hype cause you graduating
Your smile sure spelled me a grin
Met your fam and they were tight
Felt more at home with them than mine
Everything was good for a while
But now my thoughts start to bubble
Did I do enough for you and I? Did I set enough signs?
If I did shit better, would we be together, right now in this point in time
I just want to put my arms around you, doves swirling up high in the sky
But I know it's best said and done that I let this dream say goodnight

And it sucks because we're accustomed to hope for things to end like they do in the movies, like life's gonna be a movie and like love's gonna be some romcom and that's never how things turn out
(Evermore, evermore, evermore
I implore, I implore, I implore
You to be, you to be, you to be
Happy, Happy, Happy)

And I don't blame you, and I hope that you don't blame me for this
(Evermore, evermore, evermore
I implore, I implore, I implore)

But I guess... you know...
(You to be, you to be, you to be)

This Is Just How Things Are
(Happy, Happy, Happy)

Don't know where I might go
But you, you make me crazy
Whenever I feel low
Seeing you makes me happy

Walk the beach as the sunsets
With you, it just elates me
You make my heart glow
And it feels amazing
