about
Single version of a track from the album If Every Day Were Like This One.
lyrics
You're on a tightrope, direct and dangerous
And you can't cope with distractions, and you can't go backwards
Your objective is survival after the terms that you have set
The net you make for yourself is a safety net
I have spent a day walking on your wire
But it's not my way, and although I tried
Little things kept going wrong
You're on a submarine, it's claustrophobic
You're cold and blind to the journey
The nets that you cast wide have caught you up inside
The things that mattered all along
Are not the little things that will go wrong
As animated clay, I have spent a day
Living life your way
But little things kept going wrong
But they were important to me at the time, I can tell you
We could have had a paradise of poetry and sodas
Instead of all these hopeful rides and bitter codas
Whoever said "no man's an island" was an island
In a sea of the air that separates us
You have exercised your choice, you have used your voice
You don't know where your little boy is
And yet you can be strong
Ah, but I won't go along
I have stayed at your hotel, I have walked your wire
I have eaten meat, but I encountered just defeat
But if it works for you, that's neat
Little things go wrong, little things go wrong
Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong
But I feel I can be strong
I have spent a day in your closet too
But I couldn't stay, I am not like you
Little things, they will go wrong
As animated clay, I have spent a day
Sucking on your straws, but the scheme had flaws
Could you help me lower the television out of the window?
Little things go wrong, little things go wrong
Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong
Little things go wrong
Is it pride or am I blind? What did I hope to find?
Every path has room for one and for me things keep going wrong
So they prodded me with a prong
We cast our shadows as we ride, we get caught as our own nets
Catch us up inside and yet we can be strong
It must be nearly the end of the song
Little things go wrong, little things go wrong
Little things go wrong, little things keep going wrong
Little things, they will go wrong
We cast our shadows as we ride, we get caught as our own nets
Catch us up inside
And yet we can be strong
