It Is What It Is

This is the lyrics to one of the tracks of Lifehouse's new album, released on the 2nd March. The song (from the 20 second sample i've heard) has the potential to be brilliant and the lyrics are (as always) top notch. Jason Wade can write songs better then almost anybody ! Can't wait for the album !.

IT IS WHAT IT IS
I WAS ONLY LOOKING FOR A SHORTCUT HOMEBUT IT'S COMPLICATEDSO COMPLICATED SOMEWHERE IN THIS CITY IS A ROAD I KNOW WHERE WE COULD MAKE IT BUT MAYBE THERE'S NO MAKING IT NOW
TOO LONG WE'VE BEEN DENYING NOW WE'RE BOTH TIRED OF TRYING WE HIT A WALL AND WE CAN'T GET OVER IT NOTHING TO RELIVE IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE YOU SAID IT, I GET IT I GUESS IT IS WHAT IT IS
I WAS ONLY TRYING TO BURY THE PAIN BUT I MADE YOU CRY AND I CAN'T STOP THE CRYING WAS ONLY TRYING TO SAVE ME BUT I LOST YOU AGAIN NOW THERE'S ONLY LYING WISH I COULD SAY IT'S ONLY ME
TOO LONG WE'VE BEEN DENYING NOW WE'RE BOTH TIRED OF TRYING WE HIT A WALL AND WE CAN'T GET OVER IT NOTHING TO RELIVE IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE YOU SAID IT, I GET IT I GUESS IT IS WHAT IT IS
HERE IT COMES READY OR NOT WE BOTH FOUND OUT IT'S NOT HOW WE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE, HOW IT WOULD BEIF THE TIME COULD TURN US AROUND WHAT ONCE WAS LOST MAY BE FOUND FOR YOU AND ME, FOR YOU AND ME
TOO LONG WE'VE BEEN DENYING NOW WE'RE BOTH TIRED OF TRYING WE HIT A WALL AND WE CAN'T GET OVER IT NOTHING TO RELIVE IT'S WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE YOU SAID IT, I GET IT I GUESS IT IS WHAT IT IS
I WAS ONLY LOOKING FOR A SHORTCUT HOMEBUT IT'S COMPLICATED SO COMPLICATED
