That's the Way These Things Go - Carrie Newcomer

Go ahead and sit on the floor

When you can’t outrun it anymore

When nothing helps that did before

Like a river that finally floods the shore

Someday this will all be passed

Blow away like bones and ash

But today’s no different than the last

That’s the way these things go

That’s the way these things go

But I’m not lost, I’m only wandering

I’m not adrift, I’m just at sea

I’m not sure, I’m only guessing

This is right where I need to be

In the distance I hear a train

That keeps rolling on as though nothing’s changed

As if the world could ever be the same

That’s the way these things go

That’s the way these things go
