Catch A Break

(album: Elsewhere - 2022)

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day

My luck's a rain cloud, follows me around
Soon as I'm up, pour misery down
Where is my coat?
Didn't know that I would need it
Foiled my plans, well, I'll be damned
You pulled out the rug
So where do I stand, losing control
Touch and go, feeling so cheated
(Classic, me)

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay

Soon as it's good, soon as it's fine
I get blindsided every time
Down on myself
But I won't sit here defeated
Testing me, hard to breathe
Where did I go wrong?
Climbing through hell
Maybe it's just what I needed
(Classic, me)

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay

Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy different day

Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy different day

Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy different day

Put it in my hands
Watch it slip away
Same tragedy different day

(Here, we go, again)

Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Same tragedy, different day
Why can't I catch a break
When everything's going my way
I trip and fall flat on my face
Oh, but I know, I'll be okay

Oh, but I know, I'll be okay, yeah
