By the evening I’m OK, it fades throughout the day, when nothing’s lost or thrown away
When I wake up I reset, dream up a new threat, you don’t know how bad it all can get
Yeah, most of the time it all works out OK
Ahead of time it never looks that way
I’m rehearsing for the worst yeah I’m catastrophizing
I’ll be stressing and obsessing over analyzing
It’ll all fall through
I’m in a hurry to go worry I’m catastrophizing
I’m getting manic close to panic over analyzing
This must be hard for you
It’s nothing rational, it’s so nonsensical, it’s mostly indefensible
Tell my hands that as they shake, tell my chest that as it aches, it’s all too much for me to take
Imagination it does me a disservice
Bad fantasies oh they make me nervous
I’m rehearsing for the worst yeah I’m catastrophizing
I’ll be stressing and obsessing over analyzing
It’ll all fall through
I’m in a hurry to go worry I’m catastrophizing
I’m getting manic close to panic over analyzing
This can’t be fun for you
All I ever want to do is make things right
All I ever want to do is make things good
All I want to do is please everyone
All I want to do is never be wrong
All I want to do is control the world
Yeah, most of the time it all works out OK
Except when it doesn’t, I’m just saying
I invent all this dissent ‘cause I’m catastrophizing
I’m second guessing I’m regressing over analyzing
It’ll all fall through
I’m in a hurry to go worry I’m catastrophizing
I’m getting manic close to panic over analyzing
This can’t be fun for you
All I ever want to do is make things right
All I ever want to do is make things good
All I want to do is please everyone
All I want to do is never be wrong
All I want to do is control the world

As days go by, you clear your eyes, it’s not as bad as it was
The shock is gone, and you slowly move on, it’s what time always does
When bad things start to happen, you don’t know how you’ll make it through
But bad things always happen, right on cue
Around and around
So many ups and so many downs
The longer we go the more we know
That the good times don’t ever last
Yet I always let
Myself forget
The bad days lift away too
When you’ve been burned, you start to learn, to doubt a brighter phase
Always surprised, by the lows and the highs, when neither ever stays
When bad things start to happen the good things seemed too good to be true
Bad things always happen, it’s nothing old or new
Around and around
So many ups and so many downs
The farther we go the more we know
That the good times don’t ever last
Yet I always let
Myself forget
The bad days lift away too

Sometimes you might get lonely, though you know you’re not alone
And while you don't know anyone, you’ll always be known
It's not what they say, it's how they make you feel, that part is real, that's what you always hear
I know one day you won’t be back, sometimes you’re gone for a while
But for now, we know how to find you, how to make you smile
It's not what they say, it's how they make you feel, that part is real, that's what you always hear
You don't recall their names, or if you have ever met
But their hold on your heart, maybe you will never forget
It's not what they say it's how they make you feel, that part is real, that's what you always hear
It's not what they do, but if they connect with you, that's what'll last, it’s the only thing that’s clear
It's not what they say it's how they make you feel, that part is real, that's what you always hear
It's not what they do, but if they connect with you, that's what'll last, it’s the only thing that’s clear
That’s what you always hear
What you always hear

The station played faintly in the grocery store
But I caught a song that you don’t hear anymore
I always felt, my heart melt, when those opening chords would play
It was a minor hit, most forgot about it, but it took my breath away
You know it’s so good to, hear that song again, I remember when, we used to hear it on the radio
I froze in an aisle to wait for the chorus again
Some glanced as I cried but I still stayed ‘til the end
A minute brings unexpected things that reveal what’s in your heart
Losing control makes you whole and breaks you a little apart
But you know it’s so good to, hear that song again, I remember when, we used to hear it on the radio
So easily I could, have never heard that song again, and remember when, we’d hear it on the radio
I always felt, my heart melt, when those opening chords would play
It was a minor hit, most forgot about it, but it took my breath away
You know it’s so good to, hear that song again, I remember when, we used to hear it on the radio
So easily I could, of never heard that song again, recall how we felt when, we’d hear it on the radio
