there beneath the blue suburban skies

and so it goes
in every heart there is a room
a sanctuary safe and strong
to heal the wounds from lovers past
until a new one comes along

and this is why my eyes are closed
it's just as well for all i've seen
and so it goes, and so it goes
and you're the only one who knows

so i would choose to be with you
that's if the choice were mine to make
but you can make decisions too
and you can have this heart to break

(though i know you won't)

and so it goes, and so it goes
and you're the only one who knows

right, i've omitted a part of the lyrics and i think it appears that i've changed the meaning of the song, rather. but it's such a lovely song, i had to make some mention of it.
