lyrics

Squeeze it right

Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
Take it like a present wrapped up in a bow
Hold it like a lover, like you’ll never let it go
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right

It’s tough but it could get tougher
Science keeps him afloat
In a world where we all can suffer
His life is a capsized boat
No compass to hand
A million miles from dry land

Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight

She tries but she keeps on failing
Why does she carry on?
In a race where she may be trailing
Who know if it can be won
You think she’s had enough
She’s gonna call your bluff

Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
Take it like a present wrapped up in a bow
Hold it like a lover like you’ll never let it go
Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right

Wishing, hoping, praying

Some days when I can’t find meaning
Feel like I’ll disappear
Your love keeps me believing
That rocky road is clear
And as we take this ride
We do it side by side

Everyday is a good day if you squeeze it right
Everyday is a good day if you hold it tight
