Some days are dry, some days are leaky
Some days come clean, other days are sneaky
Some days take less but most days take more
Some slip through your fingers and onto the floor
Some days you're quick but most days you're speedy
Some days you use more force than is necessary
Some days just drop in on us
Some days are better than others
(Some days) it all adds up
And what you've got is enough
(Some days) are better than others
Some days are slippy, other days sloppy
Some days you can't stand the sight of a puppy
Your skin is white, but you think you're a brother
Some days are better than others
Some days you wake up with her complaining
Some sunny days you wish it was raining
Some days are sulky, some days have a grin
And some days have bouncers and won't let you in
(Some days) you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
(Some days) are better than others
Oh, yeah
Some days are honest, some days are not
Some days you're thankful for what you've got
Some days you wake up in the army
And some days it's the enemy
Some days are work, most days you're lazy
Some days you feel like a bit of a baby
Lookin' for Jesus and his mother
Some days are better than others
(Some days) you feel ahead
You're making sense of what she said
(Some days) are better than others
(Some days) you hear a voice
Taking you to another place
(Some days) are better than others
Some days
Some days
Some days
Some days
