The song "Things" by Joe Walsh is all about the ups and downs of life and how we handle them. Walsh talks about taking things one step at a time, and keeping a low profile. He likes to make a design of things and put them to rhyme, even the confusing things. He talks about some things that can give you a thrill, while others can drive you crazy. Some things can keep you sane, while others are confusing. Walsh talks about the things we have lost and the things we have found. He says it's hard to keep track of things because there are so many around. Walsh talks about how some things turn out all wrong, while others turn out all right. Some things don't turn out at all, but then again they might. He says some things come too soon, while others come too late. He believes that it's best to come too early, so you have some time to wait. He also talks about how it's hard to talk with words, and sometimes it's best to leave some things alone. He believes that you can share some things with friends because they've all been through some things. Walsh believes that it's important to mark some things and put them in the ground because maybe later on they will dig them up and say "how 'bout that?" Overall, the song is about the unpredictable nature of life and how we have to learn to deal with all the things that come our way, good or bad.
