Everything to Everyone lyrics

You can always get it right next time, next time
You can always get it right next time, next time

You can count on me to mess it up
You can count on me to let you down again
And in time you'll see that I'm your only friend

You can always get it right next time, next time
You can always get it right next time, next time

Comfort and community obliterated
Given opportunity I hesitated

I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you
I cannot decide what this doubts made of
Though I've thought over it thru and thru

In a book on a box high up on a shelf
In a lovked and guarded vault
are the things I keep only for myself
It's your fate, but it's not your fault

And for every useless reason I know
There's a reason not to care

Well you know that it's going to be all right
I think it's going to be all right
Everything will always be all right
When we go shopping
Well you know that it's going to be all right
When we go shopping

It's always lalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Let the shopping spree begin
Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala
Everybody wins

So shut up and never stop
Let's shop until we drop

Maybe it would be fun
to get a new opinion,
get a little work done
and forget.

Maybe it would be cool
if I rocked it old school,
tried to break a gold rule
and a sweat.

Better than the first time,
better than the worst time,
if I could just reverse time
I'd be set.

Testing 1, 2, 3
Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony
would everybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me

I'm not suprised it's come to this
Sooner or later there must be another's kiss
Behind that kiss a promise of a life of bliss
Yeah, great - I won't be taking the bait
I'd rather drown
And I will not turn my whole life upside down

Imagine everything you've done
Under a microscope on view for everyone
And if the king of circumspection's here

She likes to sleep with the radio on
So she can dream of her favourite song
The one that no one has ever sung
Since she was small
She'll never know that she made it up
She had a soul and we ate it up
Thrown away like a paper cup, the music falls

The only flaw in her detailed plan
Is where she wins back the love of her man
Everyone knows that he's never coming back

How in every visible way you shine
As if the stars in your wake align
Almost impossible to malign

But just below where you shine you burn
Although I know it, I never learn
Just goes to show that I can't discern

Aluminum to me, aluminum to some
You can shine like silver all you want
But you're just aluminum

Illuminating just what you want to show

I left a tip, but it was enver a donation
I took a trip, but it was never a vacation
I took a seat, but I refused to take a number
And so, defeated, I proceeded unencumbered

I took her hand, but it was not in matrimony
I told my side, but it was never testimony
I turned and ran after ignoring my miranda
I hid, she sought and caught me under the veranda

Everything's a lie, we're all going to die
Before we say goodbye, let's attack
I admit it's bleak, but I give it a week
Until our friends the meek give it back

Is it true? Well it's true enough, I guess
Join the chorus of the second best
Second best, second best

What's left of you that's real? A mutated idea
With limited appeal, I suggest

Everything's a lie, we're all going to die
Before we say goodbye, let's attack
I admit it's bleak, but I give it a week
Until our friends the meek give it back

Is it true? Well it's true enough, I guess
Join the chorus of the second best
Second best, second best

What's left of you that's real? A mutated idea
With limited appeal, I suggest
