Testo That's the way these things go Carrie Newcomer

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 be the past
And blow away like bones and ash
But today is 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 if nothing changed
As if the world could ever be the same
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

I saw the sun set over the ridge
Shaped like a heart on a knife edge
And I remembered the last thing you said
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
Yesterday three golden leaves
Fluttered down in front of me
And for a moment I felt the whole world breathe
For a moment I felt the whole world ease
So be kind to everyone you meet

No matter what you see out on the street
You don’t know what people live down deep
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
That's the way these things go
