Do It Everyday

Everyday moves from a blessing to a curse

Pull out of the driveway slip it in reverse

Take a turn for the better, a turn for the worse

And you're stuck out on the interstate again

Sit at a desk and watch the clock

Time slows down and grinds to a stop

You wish it was a dream but you know it's not

And it's getting too hard to pretend

CHORUS

But you do it everyday and you don't know why

Paint by numbers, pass away the time

There ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme

You do it everyday and you don't know why

She wakes up to an empty bed

Lies there alone with the thoughts in her head

All the words unspoken, words unsaid

She throws back the covers and walks downstairs

The coffee on the counter is black and cold

Silence breaks, the day unfolds

She looks in the mirror and feels so old

And says "the things you do to survive..."

But you do it everyday and you don't know why

Steppin' on the tightrope, walkin' on the wire

(CHORUS)

Everyday moves from a blessing to a curse

Life goes on for better or worse

Years slip by, the months are a blur

Leaving only enough to remember

So you wonder how it ever came down to this

There must've been something that you just missed

Or maybe this is all that there ever is

Outside a new day is beginning

But you do it everyday and you don't know why

The skeletons rattle and the old ghosts lie

There ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme

You do it everyday and you don't know why

You do it everyday

You do it everyday
