Story behind the song
A song about a first real "love". When I moved, I found a bunch of old prom pictures and my high school yearbooks.
Lyrics
It’s Just That Way
Patricia Baker, BMI/Bill Osofsky, BMI/Shelia Quattlebaum, BMIÓ2005
We were those smiles we wore
In those old Polaroids
When we held life in our hands
Playin’ with it like a toy
More and more they seem unreal
Tender moments from the past
Like those steamy August nights
Makin’ love we thought would last
Chorus
It’s not easy for our dreams
To survive the light of day
We can hold them for awhile
But we can’t make them stay
We were young and so in love
But hearts grow up, it’s just that way
Like that rosebud that I saved
In the pages of a book
Crushed and falling all apart
‘Til it hurts me now to look
Cause the blush that filled its cheeks
In the innocence of youth
Has faded with the years
All that’s left now is the truth
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
We can’t stop who we were from becoming who we are
Talked about forever but we never got that far
Repeat Chorus
