Matthew Fischer performs

The Way Things Are
(Matthew Fischer/Seth Raddatz)

there's a ship on 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 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 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
