Every Now And Then
David Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As you lay there in your bed
All along you were being led
Down some dark road instead
Have a apple take a bite
See the day turn into night
You knew it wasn’t right
Sold your soul without a fight
I can tell your different now
You were losing and on the run
That was then and this is now
Ya its hard to fight the fight
You can try with all your might
When you know it isn't right
I Pray to God you'll see the light
I tried to keep you safe and warm
Tried to shelter you from the storm
You came so close to making war
Took its toll and maybe more
That was then and this is now
I can tell your different now
You were losing and on the run
That was then and this is now
And round and round you go
There’s only one way ya know
You reap exactly what you sow
But don't ya know
That was then and this is now
That was then and this is now
I can tell your different now
You were losing and on the run
That was then and this is now
That was then and this is now

Line by Line Meaning
Thoughts were not good in your head
Your thoughts were negative and troubled
As you lay there in your bed
These thoughts weighed heavy even when you were trying to rest
All along you were being led
You were being guided down a certain path without even realizing it
Down some dark road instead
This path was not a happy or healthy one
Have a apple take a bite
Someone or something tempted you into doing something you knew was wrong
See the day turn into night
This decision caused a drastic change in your life
You knew it wasn’t right
You were fully aware that what you were doing was wrong
Sold your soul without a fight
Despite this, you went along with it and gave into temptation
But that was then and this is now
However, things have changed since then
I can tell your different now
You are not the same person you were before
You were losing and on the run
You were in a bad place and felt like you were constantly running from something
Ya its hard to fight the fight
It's difficult to resist temptation and do the right thing
You can try with all your might
However, you're doing your best to overcome this
When you know it isn't right
You have a clear understanding that doing the right thing is important
I Pray to God you'll see the light
I hope you come to realize what's truly important and stay on the right path
I tried to keep you safe and warm
I wanted to protect you from harm
Tried to shelter you from the storm
Tried to shelter you from the bad situation you found yourself in
You came so close to making war
You almost made a big mistake
Took its toll and maybe more
This situation had an impact on you and may have caused lasting damage
And round and round you go
Your life was caught in an endless cycle of bad decisions
There’s only one way ya know
You need to get back on the right path
You reap exactly what you sow
Your actions have consequences and you need to take responsibility
That was then and this is now
Your past mistakes don't define you
I can tell your different now
You've grown and changed since then
You were losing and on the run
You were in a bad place before
That was then and this is now
But now you're on the path to recovery and growth
That was then and this is now
Things have changed for the better

I hung up the phone tonight
Something happened for the first time
Deep inside
It was a rush
What a rush (what a rush)
'Cause the possibility
That you would ever feel the same way
About me
It's just too much
Just too much (just too much)
Why do I keep running from the truth?
All I ever think about is you
You've got me hypnotized, so mesmerized
And I just got to know
Do you ever think
When you're all alone
All that we could be
Where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath
When I look at you?
Are you holding back
Like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away
Going away
Has it ever crossed your mind
When we're hangin', spendin' time
Girl, are we just friends?
Is there more?
Is there more?
See, it's a chance we've gotta take
'Cause I believe
That we can make this into
Something that will last
Last forever
Forever
Do you ever think when you're all alone
All that we could be, where this thing could go?
Am I crazy or falling in love?
Is it real or just another crush?
Do you catch a breath when I look at you?
Are you holding back, like the way you do?
'Cause I'm trying, trying to walk away
But I know this crush ain't going away
Going away

Ooh, whoa, whoa
Ooh, whoa

Just too much (just too much)
Why do I keep running from the truth?
