And every night is late
Every one is hurting
And every hope must wait
All the lives are shiny
But covered with some mud
A lifetime spent for finding
A carrot stick called love
Every morning is early
And every night is late
When undefined remains
The name of purpose on your plate
Every morning is early
And every night is late
I sometimes wake up smiling
But I never start the day
Every morning is early
And every night will break
It feels less real around me
Than my thoughts that I do make
It feels less real around me
Most of any given day
A lot of boring people
And a lot of empty dates
Every morning might as well be
As dark as is the day
It’s not a sign of sadness
Just of having so little to say
I feel lost in this body
Like an anchor to the shore
I would rather lift off from me
I would rather live with more
I would rather live with more
Every livid attorney
And every fisherman’s bait
And every gendered title
Or a love story’s predictable fate
It’s details with which we are blinded
It’s a light bright enough for a face
I’m driving I’m driving I’m driving
But I’m always still in the same place
Every bus stop comes early
But every bus arrives late
The only time I’ve moved somewhere
Is when seeing the look on a face
Of breathing finally by choice
And not out of habit or race
Of breathing finally by choice
Just because you’re enjoying the taste
Every morning comes early
When it’s something else waking me up
And every night feels an eternity
When life’s as dreamy as counting sheep’s fluff
It all seems like a dream to me
I can barely remember the past
The only time I feel alive
Is when I discover something at last
Every death will come early
And every life will seem fast
But every once in a moment
I can feel something greater than me laugh
Every once in a moment
I feel something that made all this worth it
So despite all your chasing for perfect
For perfectly edgeless and sad
You’ll never swap prudence for bullshit
No matter how much you like boring and bad
You can make this life journey as harrowing as you like
But I have already had fun
And you will never be able to take away that
