Lyrics

My voice is horse and ruddy from singing the same old song
A song I’ve sung a million times before
And my hands are cracked and bloody from holding on too long
When things just ain’t that way anymore
Friends and family laid to rest before the world fell apart
I’m wondering who among them could have endured
Some would do okay, I guess, for some it would just break their hearts
That things just ain’t that way anymore
Staring out into a crowd, fight or flight reflex aroused
I try to remember what that’s like
On these lonely, lonely nights
Last night I went out walking in the apocalyptic quiet
The placidity dissolved me to the core
I’m wondering how I’ll explain the how, and when, and why it
Just isn’t that way anymore
Singing out, singing aloud, fight or flight reflex aroused
All the chances I denied, now I’m wondering what if I had tried
Yeah, I want to see my friends all together once again
But things just ain’t that way anymore
We’re all used to pretending the weather is not changing
as the sea walls collapse into the shore
Now the storm that’s been impending is here. The deluge is descending. It’s clear
That things just ain’t that way anymore
