lyrics

Working all day on a Saturday
This days a bore
Next week will probably be much the same as the week before
All my friends are out tonight
Bust I just can't stay awake because
That's the way it is
That's the way it is

His wife left him last week for another man
She said she had enough
Spent all the money that they had
At the local pub
Tried to drink his pain away
But it didn't work because now
That's the way it is
That's the way it is

That's the way it is
That's the way it is

I walk a tight rope across the room
They sit and stare
You gotta scream and shout
Close your eyes
Let the pain out
Make them aware
They'll cut you down and belittle you
But don't dis pare
The morning has a funny way of clearing the air

I wish that I could visit with the friends I never see
I would tell them that I love them and think of them endlessly
But some of them, they wouldn't care
They'd say I'm from the past
The rest of us would catch up
Some friends aren't meant to last

That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Keep your head facing up
Make sure that you take part
It's never too late
Everyday is a fresh start

That's the way it is
That's the way it is
Put your hand on your chest
And feel for the heartbeat
This is the spot where your life and your heart meet
Yeah
