Happens Like That

[Verse 1]
You called me up from a dead-end shift
Said
"I'm so tired of this same old town"
We laughed it off
But my hands went stiff
Like I knew right then the world flipped round
[Chorus]
It just happens like that
One kiss in the front seat
Everything cracks
All the plans that I swore were set
Fade out in the glow of a midnight text
Heart gone fast
No turning back
Guess love hits hard when it hits you bad
Yeah
You wrecked my map
It just happens like that
[Verse 2]
Now there's your brush on my bathroom sink
Boots by the door where mine used to be
You hum along while the kettle sings
And somehow this house feels twice as free
[Chorus]
It just happens like that
One joke at the counter
Then you never pack
All the walls that I built in red
Falling like dust when you crawl in bed
Heart beat wild
Right off track
Guess love runs hot when it runs off-snap
Yeah
You tore my past
It just happens like that
[Bridge]
Maybe it's luck
Maybe it's fate
Maybe it's two broke hearts running late
All I know is I can't go back
To the man I was before you laughed (hey)
[Chorus]
It just happens like that
One look in the driveway
You say
"I'm back"
All the scars that I never checked
Turn into stories we don’t regret
Love this loud
I can’t relax
Guess life feels right when it don’t add up fast
Yeah
I’m cool with that
It just happens like that

Verses stay tight and conversational with muted picking and subtle pads; choruses explode with layered harmonies, wide distorted guitars, and a singalong top line. Bridge strips back to bass and drums, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and a lifted key feel., pop, moody, pop rock, alternative country, electric, male vocals, country rock, country
