When did life become so hard
Like everything else it gradually sneaks up on you
Well you were so young old seemed so far
I remember when you swore that you'd never wear those shoes
Said you'd never wear those shoes

Then one morning things have changed
The clock runs differently, it skips around
Well you look the same but you look so strange
And look at all them pretty little imperfections that you've found
Said look at what you've found

Everybody once in a while loves a rainy
When it all looks and feels the same
It's so nice to know that some things'll never change
Everybody once in a while loves a dreary day
When there's always something to complain about
It's so nice to know that you've got something to say

You were different you'd agree
You were gonna be the one man to never grow old
Saying, saying nothing bad could happen to me
Ready for the legends and the stories to unfold
I said the stories to be told

Yeah well you were wrong and I'll agree
So maybe that could mean that there's just a little bit more to life
Cause, cause it wasn't you and it wasn't me
It seems my friend once again we were wrong and they were right
We were wrong and they were right and...

Everybody once in a while loves a rainy
When it all looks and feels the same
It's so nice to know that some things'll never change
Everybody once in a while loves a dreary day
When there's always something to complain about
It's so nice to know that you've got something to say

But then you realize
Yeah then you realize
That's when you realize what's changed
But then you realize
I said that's when you realize
That's when you realize everything's the same
Nothing here has changed

So while you're sitting around waiting for life to come together
All the things you're probably missing but you can't tell whether or not
The whole thing's like this or maybe it gets better
Putting one foot 'fore another brother, f*** it and forget her
And the montage it's a collage of a life, it's just a mirage
Of the things that never happen, baby c'mon
Tell me you were only joking just to ramble on
And to keep them gums flapping
I could not tell you everything which I learned through action
Wouldn't believe me even if I did, get the whip a-crackin'
What the hell happened, I can't sing, I'm rapping
I just want to cry but I can't stop laughing
Everybody once in a while I said
Everybody, here I go again
Everybody once in a while loves a rainy day
Oh, everybody once in a while loves a rainy day
