It Is What It Is
music and lyrics by Mark Brut
Sit here waiting on a twist of fate
On days you bend but don't break
Better put your precious faith in something
Every time I find this place
Every time it resonates
Maybe I better pick up the pace
This time I really don't know
To hold on or just to let it go
Things that chill me to the bone
To find a ray of truth
Of the blood from a stone
Sometimes you have to climb a mountain
It is what it is
Except when it isn't
And all I have is what's happening right now
Blistering heat at the beginning of the day
Cough up remains of yesterday
Nearly killed yourself expectations
There will come a time when you have to decide
Putting all other things aside
Are you a contender or pretender?
It is what it is
Except when it isn't
And all I have is what's happening right now
Holding tight while time is bending
It's been a while since I could feel this ending
And one day when the stars will fall
You better gather all the loose ends
Happiness is just happiness
And pain just pain
When you see this you will be beyond doubt
Time and again you tell me how it feels
Even though there is grease on the wheel
Even though my heart couldn't be more battered
It is what it is
You better believe it
And all I have is what's happening right now
All I have is what's happening right now
All I have is what's happening right now
