Early in the mornin', rise to meet the sun
Work so hard to feed your wife, no time to show her lovin'
And in the madness of the evenin', with diamonds in your hand
Get home an hour early, caught her with another man

It's always something, before the late night
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you
Can't hold there hands back, can't make the sun rise
It's always something, you know it's always something

On your way back home again, good samaritan
You see a man stuck in the rain, stranded with no friends
And from the goodness of your heart, you save him from the flood
A couple miles down the road, he's covered in your blood

It's always something, before the late night
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you
Can't hold there hands back, can't make the sun rise
It's always something, you know it's always something

Moving around, you never see it coming
Burned by the light, you thought that you were runnin'
Blindin' again and floatin' like a feather
Why can't you see, you can't control the weather

Sometimes I cut myself, looking in the mirror
With my eyeballs out and I'm looking at the fear
In the bottom of the dreams, I saw them growing like a plant
But it never works out the way, I wrote it in my hands

You tried, you tried, you tried, you tried
You tried, you tried, you tried, you tried
You tried, you tried, you tried, you tried
You tried, (it's always something)
You tried, you tried, you tried

It's always something, before the late night
Around the corner, there's always something waiting for you
Can't hold there hands back, can't make the sun rise
It's always something, you know it's always something
You know it's always something
You know it's always something
