(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
