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
