    LYRICS to How It Goes:
    Gotta go to work so we're not left wanting
    Better off here than an LA apartment
    And I know I'm not poor but I'm so exhausted
    Is this just how it goes?
    Paying three grand so the porch won't cave in
    Guess I'll never make that doctor visit
    And I know I got enough but I'm anxious living
    Is this just how it goes?
    And I know we gotta pay for the life we're living
    A dollar every day so the world keeps spinning
    Doing what it takes is the price we're given
    But I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing
    Gotta pay the bills so we got warm water
    Thought it just appeared when I was just a daughter
    Now I'm learning all the ways that a life will cost ya
    It's just how it goes
    Today I saw a number that I couldn't fathom
    The country has a debt of like 100 trillion
    And I think of all the trees that we kill to pay it
    Like it's just how it goes
    And I know we gotta pay for the life we're living
    A dollar every day so the world keeps spinning
    Doing what it takes is the price we're given
    But I don't wanna pay for the life I'm missing

    The one thing that got me more interesting is the making of the song in the recording room. And making sure it sounds right for the album and i love the whole meaning the way u explained it of it too.
