What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had to Go This Way) Lyrics
What did my lover say
When she was driving with you?
I could not see her face
From my new bed
I don't think I should be sorry
For things I do in dreams
Just like the tumbling birds come tumbling down
I got a sandcastle heart
Made out of fine black sand
Sometimes it turns into glass
When shit gets hot
I wonder if all the beaches
In all your holiday towns
Will turn to giant shining earrings against the cheek of the sea
When finally this supernova goes down
Just like my lover said
Say
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
I sleep all night with the light on
And dream about the sun
Maybe because of the light
Maybe because of the sun
I got a friend who's a genius
Nobody listens to him
I got some friends that got famous
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
I don't think I should say sorry
For things I do in dreams
Some people live like they're falling
Some people die in their sleep
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
When she was driving with you?
I could not see her face
From my new bed
For things I do in dreams
Just like the tumbling birds come tumbling down
Made out of fine black sand
Sometimes it turns into glass
When shit gets hot
In all your holiday towns
Will turn to giant shining earrings against the cheek of the sea
When finally this supernova goes down
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
And dream about the sun
Maybe because of the light
Maybe because of the sun
Nobody listens to him
I got some friends that got famous
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
For things I do in dreams
Some people live like they're falling
Some people die in their sleep
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way
It always had to go this way

The correct song title is "What Did My Lover Say? (It Always Had to Go This Way)"
I couldn't fit it all in...
I think the line is "when shit gets hot."
I think the line is "when shit gets hot."
"I got a friend who's a genius Nobody listens to him I got some friends that got famous LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA"
I love that bit.
"Some people live like they're falling, Some people die in their sleep."
And that bit.
Go Dan.
That's a "Go Dan" for the epic guitar line.

Pretty sure it's not "when she gets hot", but in fact "when SHIT gets hot".
Pretty sure it's not "when she gets hot", but in fact "when SHIT gets hot".
this song is awesome. not sure what it means though. it looks like series of general observations.
i agree with rapsfan. pretty sure it's "when shit gets hot," not "when she gets hot"
My favorite off of this album so far, but I've only spun it a few times. It seems generally about a relationship, probably looking back on a failed one. In general, I really appreciate the poetic nature of WP's lyrics and how open they are for varied interpretations.
"I sleep all night with the light on, and dream about the sun. Maybe because of the light, Maybe because of the sun."
I think this song is about not having any regrets about things you did or had (a relationship) in your past and just letting things happen because they have to happen. He seems to be talking about things that happened in his past, but having no regrets about them yet he is wondering what will happen in the future.
I also think this song has a positive message, saying "do not care what others think about you, nobody knows you and nobody gives a damn"
