Emily Elbert - When Things Don't Quite Go As Planned lyrics

Like hanging on a rope with blistered hands* Trying to float in sinking sand Money will screw you again and again When things don't quite go as planned Like wanting to sing with your mouth wired shut You're down on the ground and you can't get up So here you are – you thought you were so tough But here's the universe calling your bluff I never thought things would turn out this way Thought the drought would always hit every other place Thought that everyone made mistakes But not a friend that I see says why the long, long face Like wanting to know someone but never leaving your head Wanting to know the world but never leaving your bed Standing at the door of heaven, paralyzed with dread Cause things haven't quite gone as planned No things don't always go as planned I never thought things would turn out this way Thought the drought would always hit every other place Thought that everyone made mistakes But not a friend that I see says why the long, long face Everybody sins But finding good within is critical Even within yourself
