So I stand up   Feel the needles in my feet and my legs are still asleep but it's the morning   Fold the blankets   Shake the grass out of the sheets   Throw it all in my back seat and drive you home      Yeah    Knowing me and knowing you the stars could not have had a clue   We never meant to start this thing between us      It just happened that way   You know sometimes it does   Sometimes the planets align and you both lose time   Can't change your mind      It just happned that way   No time to invest   You just pray for the best    And you say, "It just happened that way"   Just happened that way      By tomorrow we may be the talk of town   Yeah    Word will get around that we're together   Oh    But the thing is girl they will never understand   It was just an accident that kinda worked out      Yeah    Knowing you and knowing me   I think we can both agree we never meant to start this thing between us      It just happened that way   You know sometimes it does   Sometimes the planets align and you both lose time   Can't change your mind      It just happned that way   No time to invest   You just pray for the best    And you say      Oh    Love we could run    Yeah   We could run away   Thinking it over      We could run    Yeah   We should run away   Would you come with me      We could run    Yeah   We should run away   Thinking it over      I'm smiling 'cause I know that they will see   Our straight and narrow ways just took a turn   We'll take a highway without ever looking back   And in ten years we can laugh at how we got there      Yeah    Knowing me and knowing you the stars could not have had a clue   We never meant to start this thing between us      It just happened that way   You know sometimes it does   Sometimes the planets align and you both lose time   Can't change your mind      It just happened that way   No time to invest   Just pray for the best    Oh   And I know it's a mess   We'll pray for the best   We'll say, "It just happened that way"   Just happened that way
