It Was Coming All Along

Everybody's going crazy
See them walking down the street
And I feel like a deer in headlights
When I turn on the TV
And I keep wandering 'round my living room
Just wondering how we're gonna survive

See the light stream in the window
Call my mother on the phone
Said there's talking in the kitchen
Of selling my childhood home
And everywhere I look around
It seems we're always saying goodbye

And I don't know just what to do I'm fine but
Feel I'm breaking through
My world's a honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But it was coming all along
It was coming all along

I know I might sound existential
If this is the first time that we meet
But I swear there's some potential in the actuality
And I'm trying to be brave these days
But oh, I've still got Nora on the phone
Um, hello? How are you?

And she's saying, hold your temper
"Hey there, Maggie. Slow your roll
And I know that you still hate him
For the way he hurt you back at school"
And though it's dark out in the distance
It's looking like there might be a new soul

And I don't know just what to do I'm fine but
Feel I'm breaking through
My world's a honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But I know it won't last for long

So fast it's fading out of view
I'm flying, long past twenty-two
So high can't find the moment it went wrong
But it was coming all along

I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through
It was coming all along
My world's a honey shade of blue
It was coming all along
And I know it won't last for long

It was coming all along
But it was coming all along
