That's the Way These Things Go

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
