When Things Don't Go Quite As Planned

Like hanging on a rope with blistered hands

Trying to float in sinking sand

Money will screw you again and again

When things don’t quite go as planned

Like wanting to sing with your mouth wired shut

You’re down on the ground and you can’t get up

So here you are you thought you were so tough

But here’s the universe calling your bluff

I never thought things would turn out this way

Thought the world might forget all the mistakes I’ve made

Thought I’d found a way to fool the game

But now at night I lie awake to find I’ve learned too late

Like wanting to know someone but never leaving your head

Wanting to know the world but never leaving your bed

Standing at the door of heaven, paralyzed with dread

Cause things haven’t quite gone as planned

No things don’t always go as planned

I never thought things would turn out this way

Thought the world might forget all the mistakes I’ve made

Thought I’d found a way to fool the game

But now at night I lie awake to find I’ve learned too late

Everybody sins

But finding good within is critical

Even within yourself
