Every Now & Then
B.B. Chung King & The Buddaheads Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

To try and tell you how I feel, I couldn't find the words
I tried to send a couple letters, found no flying birds
I tried to solve it with a song and couldn't write the verse
I tried to say it to your face and couldn't fight the nerves
I tried to say it to your face and couldn't fight the nerves
You pass my mind every now and then
I tend to greet my past ways when I get the chance
These ripped pants hold dutches over the messy vans
Bless these hands, they been rollin' up plenty grass
Enough to knock me on my ass and then some
Get the check and spend some
I'm so quick to self destruct
My stress levels got records shook
That's not a flex, don't get this shit mistook
Don't think it's much to ask for peace, I think they owe me that
From all the times I thought I found it and it doublebacked
The reason I just light the spliff, finish and hit the sack




Please don't mind the way I act I tend to hug the past
I tend to greet my past ways when I get the chance

Found you guys about a year ago and I have to say that you are one of my favorite bands. I have all of your stuff and continue to spread the word. I can't believe you've been around more than 10 years and I just found you! I sure hope you keep it up. If you tour I will buy tickets.
