This is How it Goes

Listen here: This is How it Goes
Written and performed by Nina, based on the tune “This is How it Goes” by Missy Higgins
Once again you’re locked up in Ron’s room
And you will never say
What it is you’re doing, you tell me to go away
I know you plan to battle Voldemort
Leaving me behind
As if I’m just a girl who can’t help but need saving
And so I go, but not too far
In case you change your mind, oh…
So this is how it goes, baby
You go off to fight your foes and I stay home
But if you need me, call me
And I’ll be there before you know, you know
I want to give you something for the ride
To remember me by
I kiss you just to prove that you don’t need to lose me
You tell me it’s my safety you desire
But is it a crime for me to want to join you
And battle alongside you
And so I go, but not too far
In case you change your mind, oh…
So this is how it goes, baby
You go off to fight your foes and I stay home
But if you need me, call me
And I’ll be there before you know, you know
Yeah I’ll be there before you know
La de da de di…
And so I go but not too far
So this is how it goes, baby
You go off to fight your foes and I stay home
But if you need me, call me
And I’ll be there before you know, you know
Yeah I’ll be there before you know
And so I go but not too far…

Just heard this on the Filky Awards — somehow I missed it when you first posted it. An excellent performance of a great filk!
