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
