ok, but the water always goes the same way?

It’s sounds. The water might be going the same way, but speed, depth, and contents are constantly changing. Sure, you can cross a constructed bridge everyday and nothing changes.
This is actually crossing a river, on foot, wagon, horse, etc. It’s always changing.

I would also argue the bridge is ever changing as well. It has different vehicles crossing it, every tire wears the surface, the materials expand and contract with temperature, the structure weathers continuously.
Just because one doesn’t notice, doesn’t mean something doesn’t change.

As so is life. Just shows you the moment is now and everything after this one moment in time will be different. Even though sometimes it does feel the same.
Also makes you think of the past and what has gone. Like thinking back about a missed meeting, deadline, or embarrassing moment. That time is forever gone and will never return. So why live in it? Charge ahead and be excited for the future.
