How It Goes Lyrics – Kensington

How It Goes Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
The singer talks about being someone who doesn’t cling to emotions or hold on too tightly. They’ve lived long enough to see how life constantly changes and makes you reflect a lot. They’ve noticed that good things often don’t last forever, and they’ve learned to accept that things come and go naturally.

[Chorus]
Life moves on.

[Verse 2]
The singer is surprised to find themselves remembering the past so clearly. They think about the times they used to travel a familiar road with someone they cared about. They even dreamed of building a future together in an old house with a big porch where they imagined growing old side by side, a dream that never came true.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses a calm acceptance that life doesn’t always follow the plans we make. Things change, relationships shift, and even the strongest dreams can fade. They repeat the idea that this is simply the natural rhythm of life, something everyone eventually learns to live with.

[Bridge]
The focus shifts to how the relationship has slowly faded over time. What once felt strong has softened and grown distant. The repeated sounds add an emotional echo, almost like remembering something you can’t fully grasp anymore, showing how the connection has slipped into the past.

[Chorus]
The singer reflects on how the relationship has clearly faded, but they aren’t fighting it anymore. They acknowledge that time changed things, and even though it hurts a little, they see it as part of life’s cycle. They repeat the idea that love can drift away, and accepting that truth is part of moving forward.
