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