It Was Coming All Along

Everybody's going crazy
See 'em walking down the street
And I feel like a deer in headlights
When I turn on the TV
And I keep wandering 'round my living room
Just wondering how we're gonna survive

See the light stream in the window
Call my mother on the phone
Said there's talkin' in the kitchen
Of selling my childhood home
And everywhere I look around
It seems we're always saying goodbye

And I don't know just what to do

I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through
No walls of honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But it was coming all along
It was coming all along

Know I might sound existential
This is the first time that we meet
But I swear there's some potential
In the actuality
And I'm trying to be brave these days
But, oh, I've still got Norah on the phone
(Hey, I'm calling, hello)
(How are you?)

And she's saying: Hold your temper
Hey there, Maggie, slow your roll
And I know that you still hate him
The way he hurt you back at school
And though it's dark out in the distance
It's looking like there might be a new soul

And I don't know just what to do

I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through
No walls of honey shade of blue
I'm crying, wish I wasn't hanging on
But I know it won't last for long
So fast, it's fading out of view
I'm flying long past twenty-two
So high, can't find the moment it went wrong
But it was coming all along (I'm fine, but feel I'm breaking through)
It was coming all along (no walls of honey shade of blue)
It was coming all along (but I know it won't last for long)

It was coming all along
But it was coming all along
