C’est La Vie No. 2

I wrote all night
Like the fire of my words could burn a hole up to heaven
I don't write all night, burning holes up to heaven – no more

I stood out in the rain
Like the rain might come and wash my eyes clean
I don't stand out in the rain to have my eyes washed clean – no more

C’est la vie, she say
But I don't know what she means
I say: Love, easy, hey, come to me

C’est la vie, she say
But I don't know what that means
I say: Alright, well, c’est la vie

I stood out in the night, in an empty field
And I called your name
I don't stand out all night in empty fields
And call your name – no more

I waited for days
For your voice to answer to me
I don't wait up for days for your voice
To answer to me – no more

C’est la vie, they say
But I don't know what they mean
I say: Love's easy, if you let it be

C’est la vie, they say
But I don't know what that means
I say: Alright, well, c’est la vie

I say: Alright, honey – c’est la vie
Ain’t that just how it goes, honey
C’est la vie
