Something's Going On
(The Way We Are Together)

They met at a New Year's party
They didn't know back then
How long they could have known each other,
How long they might have been friends
Maybe the timing wasn't right,
Maybe before they found The One,
Maybe they had to find themselves
Maybe
That's the way the cookie crumbles,
That's the way it looks to me,
That's the way we are together,
That's the way it's supposed to be,
Something's going on,
A bit at a time,
So subtle we didn't
See it coming,
I look at you,
It feels like home.
Keeping body and soul together,
But hungry for something more,
Leaving to find what's missing inside,
That's what a journey's for.
Bicycling on the Natchez Trace,
Studying down Ocho Rios way,
Riding a bus through ancient Greece,
Knowing
That's the way the boo-boo bounces,
That's the way it looks to me,
That's the way we are together,
That's the way it's supposed to be,
Something's going on,
I can't look away,
Everything's building
To a crescendo,
I hold your hand,
It feels like home.
So their souls still wander,
But always side by side,
What they want and what they need
Together they can provide.
Nothing tastes like the wine you make,
Nothing lasts like the house you build,
Nothing feels like the love you share,
Nothing like
The way the cookie crumbles,
That's the way it looks to me,
That's the way we are together,
That's the way it's supposed to be,
Something's going on,
The rest of our lives,
And I'll always be
So glad that you're with me,
Wherever we are
Together is home.
