Almost Always

almost always is a state i'm living in
 where everything begins at once and no one ever wins
 we don't see how it started and we have to leave before it ends
 almost always we have to start again
 almost always there's a snag on the way
 there's a catch to every good time in the fine print of the day
 and if there's a silver lining somewhere in all of this
 almost always we find it out too late
 more than likely they'll be trouble over yonder
 it's just a fact of life
 more than likely your thoughts are going to wander
 from the song to a daydream and back to life
 almost always there's a reason to believe
 as i awake to find a little angel is tugging at my sleeve
 all over the breakfast and the coffee no perspective i can see
 almost always love is everything you need
