Taking Back Sunday - This Is Happening lyrics

rate me

I’m not sure I couldn't tell

If I took it up right

If I took it well

I saw it coming

From far away

This is happening

I did everything

That you asked of me

Changed some words around

Until finally you were satisfied

You saw dollar signs

Earned you braggin’ rights

Behind my white knuckles

Behind my crooked teeth

Held back that I thought writing stake of

What I’d like to say

When you ask me what I've done

There’s a man behind the curtain

All the magic is gone

Nothing much to show

Except some mud on the walls

When you’re good and broken

When the moment is right

You show up with that smile

Strung out and stuck between (X3)

We're stuck in between the past

and what comes next

It’s getting harder

I can’t recall

What all this means to me through all

It’s not intrusion and double speak

Tore the floor out from underneath

I did everything

That you asked of me

Trickled down my tongue

Now it quietly

This is happening

This is happening

There’s a man behind the curtain

All the magic is gone

Nothing much to show

Except some mud on the walls

When you’re good and broken

When the moment is right

You show up with that smile

Strung out and stuck between (X3)

Instrumental

There’s a man behind the curtain

All the magic is gone

Nothing much to show

Except some mud on the walls

When you’re good and broken

When my moment is right

You show up with that smile
