about

This is one of my favorites on the album. It's very simple, but there's a lot to it nonetheless. And I don't just mean in the 12-string Gretsch part that bubbles away throughout. (I love playing that guitar.)

It's worth mentioning that I had the chorus for months and months, but had no idea where it was going until May 16, 2020. On that day, Lynn Shelton died. She was a filmmaker, writer, and director...and she was also in a relationship with Marc Maron, who is one of my favorite comics. I heard that Lynn had passed away and I wrote the verses and bridge for this song within an hour of the news. The original lyric sheet has "for MM" scrawled in the margins.

I hope someday Marc hears it.

lyrics

Every day is another day...
And nothing stays the same forever.

It hurts to say goodbye.
Sometimes it hurts to love.
You’ve got to take the bad things
with the good.
Every happy moment is
a sad one in disguise.
It won’t last long
even though it should.

Every day…

You can’t see the end right now,
or maybe that’s ALL you see.
Don’t lose yourself
losing someone else.
Of all that haunts you
may the greatest ghost be love.
May it lead you
back to yourself.

Every day…

Sometimes you wake up
and that’s when the nightmare starts.
So sometimes you sleep the day away.
But sometimes you wake up
and everything makes sense.
That day’s the gift
that keeps you holding on.

Every day...
