The Way Things Are

There's a ship one horizon line

Don't need nothing I'm doing fine

Ain't nobody gonna jump that boat

She don't sink she'll always float

Got my head above the water wild

Staying up I'm staying dry

Take one step to something more

Got the whole world at my front door

That ain't the way things are

That ain't the way things are

You've gone away so far

That ain't the way things are

There's a story that has been told

Something new has gotten old

I'm saw it coming I can't pretend

That everything won't come to an end

I'm moving forward I'm spinning fast

I'm in a war with the past

I've given up on trying hard

Trying hard not to fall apart

That's just the way things are

That's just the way things are

You've gone away so far

That's just the way things are

That's just the way things are
