Every Now and Then
When it goes wrong
It all goes wrong
All daylong
This morning I walked outside
And left my umbrella sitting on the door stool
The appetite of mid day fool
Wading through the stormy weather
Tissues beneath my chin
What has put me in such a goodbye mood
Every now and then it all goes wrong
And even when it’s not your day
It seems to last a days life long
And when it goes wrong
It all goes wrong
I dropped my feathered quill to the ground
How I Wish I could sit at home and lounge
I guess you can say my attitudes a day behind
Looking at subway but there’s such a long line
And you can’t walk because the sign says “yield”
It’s raining under my cloud, I can only stand still
Every now and then it all goes wrong
And even when it’s not your day
It seems to last a days life long
And when it goes wrong
It all goes wrong
Sorry if I couldn’t make you smile
Sorry if you smiled and I didn’t smile back
Sorry if you whispered and I couldn’t feel your touch
Sorry if you touched me and I ignored your whisper
Sorry’s not enough when there’s so much I could do
Sorry I never made it back to you
Every now and then it all goes wrong
And even when it’s not your day
It seems to last a days life long
And when it goes wrong
It all goes wrong
