Has to Be That Way

[Verse 1]
Death is not my friend
But we've always kept in touch
We both know about the end
But we don’t talk about it much
That's alright, yeah, that's alright
I’m not searching for salvation
I'm just looking for a place to crash
When I find a little peace of mind
I know it just won't last

[Chorus 1]
That's alright, that's the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way, yes it does

[Verse 2]
Ten billion years from now
The sun is going to burn out
Everything's got to go sometime
And there's nothing I can do about it
And that's alright, yeah, that’s alright
Cause the creek runs to the river
And the river runs to the sea
Everything‘s runnin’ somewhere
Tryin' to find someplace to be

[Chorus 2]
And that’s alright, that's the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way
We ain't here for long and we can't really stay
I know it just has to be that way

[Verse 3]
Well, the days are getting darker
And the night becomes so black
As the light completely fades away
Well there ain’t no coming back
And that's alright, yeah, that's alright
I don't believe in much
But I do believe in you
We'll do the best with what we got
And that's all we can do

[Chorus 2]
And that's alright, that's the way it is
I know it just has to be that way
I know it just has to be that way
We ain't here for long and we can't really stay
I know it just has to be that way
