You might as well tell a wave,
the shore is no place to ride
You might as well tell the moon,
hey, quit pulling on the tide
You might as well tell a river,
you can't flow into the sea
and that's how it's gonna be
and that's how it's gonna be
You might as well tell the river
You can't flow into the sea
and that's how it's gonna be
You might as well tell the bird
Don't be drinking from that flower
You might as well tell the wolf,
please don't sing at the midnight hour
You might as well tell the ivy
that you can't climb up on that tree
and that's how it's gonna be
and that's how it's gonna be
You might as well tell the ivy
that you can't climb up on that tree
and that's how it's gonna be
I could not stop that beat if I wanted to
I'm gonna love until I cannot breathe
and that's how it's gonna be
and that's how it's gonna be
and that's how it's gonna be
