How It's Supposed To Be

I think I'll buy a gun and blame it on my hometown It’s so cold in the deep She asked me if I think I'll ever see her again I say, "Hopefully" [Refrain] And maybe that's how it’s supposed to be Maybe that's how it's supposed to be [Verse 2] My heroes all died young, they hung themselves with fame And these lunatics, molded me I got a tattoo, it's a joke I keep a secret I need everyone to notice me [Refrain] But maybe that's how it's supposed to be Maybe that's how it's supposed to be Maybe that’s how it’s supposed to be Maybe that's how it’s supposed to be [Chorus 1] I think I'll die young with all my broken dreams I've got it figured out, this is the golden key Everything is how it's supposed to be Everything is how it’s supposed to be [Verse 3] We messed it all up, now the world is getting warmer L.A. will be out at open sea Meanwhile, I'm falling down, my heart is getting colder I hurt everyone close to me [Refrain] But maybe that's how it's supposed to be Maybe that's how it's supposed to be Maybe that's how it's supposed to be Maybe that's how it's supposed to be (Hey) [Chorus 2] I think I'll die young with all my broken dreams I've got it figured out, this is the golden key The day my daddy died, I was down the street I lost my only friend; people don't grow on trees But maybe that's the way it's supposed to be Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be Yeah, everything is how it's supposed to be See, I think that's the way it's supposed to be (Ahh) [Bridge] Woah-woah Woah-woah Woah-woah [Refrain] See, I think that's the way it's supposed to be Yeah, I think that's the way it's supposed to be Everything is how it's supposed to be I think this is how it's supposed to be [Outro] Well, here we are. This is Sunday morning, October 2, 1988, and this is Versagio and Lira. Versagio who I talked to last night wanted to see Michael, so there he is. Let's see if we can get him—Michael, look up here! Where you goin', Michael? Yeah, okay. Anyway, he is a real good kid.
