How It Goes Lyrics

A voice on the breeze
Was singing to me
And told me everything about
The way the world should be
Stories of lands
Across a giant sea
Choose to discover any means to be free
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted
While the world keeps moving and changing

I’ve said my goodbyes
And there’s no turning back
I keep singing this melody to keep my heart in tact
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes
How the world keeps going how it goes

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted
While the world keeps moving and changing

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted
While the world keeps moving and changing
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes

Let's Make Our Escape

A voice on the breeze
Was singing to me
And told me everything about
The way the world should be
Stories of lands 
Across a giant sea
Choose to discover any means to be free
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted
While the world keeps moving and changing

I’ve said my goodbyes
And there’s no turning back
I keep singing this melody to keep my heart in tact
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes
How the world keeps going how it goes

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted 
While the world keeps moving and changing

And all this time we’ve spent
Waiting for our lives to happen
Is time that’s been wasted 
While the world keeps moving and changing
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes
And I know that we will never know
How the world keeps going how it goes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
