“Way It Goes” is the third single released from the band’s “landmark” album. The band’s lead singer Jake Luppen (Turntan) wrote the majority of the lyrics within the song.
Set in early spring on a frozen lake in Cumberland, Wisconsin, “way it goes” was a moment of clarity; a realization that we are...
[Verse 1]
Wisconsin pines, collaborating with the day glow vibes
An altruistic breed of travel guide
It's chill, but Lord knows you're trying
Zombie kids love to hear that easy

It's cool

[Chorus]

It's so satisfying
Yeah, that's the way it goes
That's the way it goes
One step away from crying
[Outro]
