I can't wake up
See me running 'round the corner, move me up into the upswing
Call me undone
When I speak about the truth, I'm only brought up to the downbeat
It's not easy there
When you feel the wear (oh-oh)
Patience brings the tear
Oh, oh, oh
Every day, do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Every day, we are running 'round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
♪
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Pushing paper
I do everything I'm told, and yeah, I do it for the money
Understating
Every action that I take until I know there's something coming
It's not easy there
When you feel the wear (oh-oh)
Patience brings the tear
Oh, oh, oh
Every day, do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?
Every day, we are running 'round trapped in our sea
Oh, why can't you be happy with me?

The messages won't stop, they just keep pulling at you
Teasing us with the thought that that is something we'll do
If we could hold the tongue and focus all our time through
We would just rise above this cycle that we're bound to
Every day, do you notice that we're never free?
Oh, why can't you be happy with me? (Every day)
Every day, we are running, every day, we are running
Every day, every day, every day
Every day, do you notice that we're never free?
