Lyrics

So Now What

[Chorus]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction

So now, I guess we'll just begin again

[Verse 1]

Oh girl, it's been a while

Since we met, out there in the cold

Seems so long ago

It's hard not to imagine

The lives we used to have

When the nights were ours alone

So now what?

[Chorus]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction

So now, I guess we'll just begin again

I think you know you're my best friend

[Verse 2]

It's sort of an unspoken rule

That things will not turn out the way you plan

You know that I

I can handle all of that

If I can still take your hand

Will you still think I'm strong

If I admit that I was wrong?

So now what?

[Chorus]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction

So now, I guess we'll just begin again

I hope you know you're my best friend

[Outro]

I had this crazy idea

Somehow we'd coast to the end

Change lies in every direction

So now, I guess we'll just begin again

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)

I guess we'll just begin again

(I guess we'll just begin again)
