Do It Everyday Lyrics - Singles - Mark Erelli

(Mark Erelli) 

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
