If It Happens
Embracing Life's Unpredictability with We Were Promised Jetpacks
Lyrics
If it happens then it happens
If something happens, then it happens.
If it doesn't then it doesn't
If something doesn't happen, then it doesn't.
And I'm not going to lose any sleep about it
I won't worry excessively about it.
And I'm not going to feel any shame about it anymore
I won't feel ashamed about it anymore.
All I wanna do
My desire is to get high (possibly metaphorical for feeling good) and appreciate the scenery or situation.
Is get high and enjoy the view
I want to find pleasure in getting high and enjoying the view of my current circumstances.
Now I'm here
Expresses a sense of being present or arriving at a particular place.
And all I wanna do
Reiteration of the desire to feel good and appreciate the surroundings.
Is get high and enjoy that view
Reiteration of wanting to find pleasure in getting high and enjoying the view of the situation.
If I fall on my sword
Considering self-harm or self-sabotage.
Would you question why I'd fall in such a stupid spot?
Asking if someone would question the irrationality of self-destructive behavior.
And I'm not gonna kick up a fuss about it
Not intending to cause a disturbance or make a big deal out of it.
'Cause you can't make me feel any worse about it than I do
No one can make me feel worse about this situation than I already do.
All I ever wanted was a future
Expressing a desire for a hopeful future.
Somewhere to sit and paint a bigger picture
Desiring a place to plan for a better future.
Somewhere to rest my head and face the music
Seeking a place to rest and confront reality or difficulties.
And all I wanna do
Reiterating the desire to feel good and enjoy the current situation.
Is get high and enjoy that view
Desiring to find pleasure in getting high and enjoying the view of the current circumstances.
Now I'm here
Feeling present or arriving at a particular place (similar to line 8).
And all I wanna do
Reiteration of the desire to feel good and appreciate the surroundings.
Is get high and enjoy the view
Reiteration of wanting to find pleasure in getting high and enjoying the view of the situation.
There's always another
There are always more opportunities or steps to take in life.
Rung on the ladder
Comparing life to a ladder, suggesting continuous progress.
Let's hang on a minute and stay where we are
Advocating for pausing and appreciating the current situation rather than rushing forward.
And all I wanna do
Reiteration of the desire to feel good and appreciate the surroundings.
Is get high and enjoy the view
Reiteration of wanting to find pleasure in getting high and enjoying the view of the situation.
There's always another
Emphasizing the idea that there will always be more steps or opportunities in life.
Rung on the ladder
Reiterating the metaphor of life as a ladder and the continuous nature of progress.
Let's hang on a minute and stay where we are
Suggesting staying in the current moment rather than rushing forward to the next step.
