Every Now and Then
Jed Madela Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I think that the worst is through
I'm almost over you
I guess it was just a matter of time
Oh yeah

I've started going out
How long can anybody go without
Before you start goin' out of your mind

Even so, I confess
There are times when my heart rules over my head

Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I can't escape the thought of all that might have been
Every now and then

Mornings the hardest time
I wake up dreamin' 'bout you and I
Some days I can't remember them all, oh no
Evenings are painful still

I can't help wondering if they always will be
I can't help noticing the emptiness, baby
I don't cry every night
Just the ones when I feel like I feel tonight
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I can't escape the thought of all that might have been
Every now and then

When I'm alone anytime I hear music play
When I reach for the phone
Why does everything good
Make me think of you baby
Oh, baby
Hey yeah

Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again
I can't escape the thought of all that might have been

Every now and then
I find myself wondering about you baby
Seems now and again

I can't escape the thought of all that might have been
Every now and then

It was inevitable that I would start to get over you eventually

I've started going out
I have begun to socialize and have fun again

There are times when my heart rules over my head
Sometimes, my emotions get the best of me and I can't control how I feel

Every now and then
Occasionally

I catch myself thinking about you

Seems now and again
It appears that every once in a while

I can't escape the thought of all that might have been

Waking up in the morning is the most difficult part of my day

Only on nights when my emotions are particularly strong do I cry

When I'm alone anytime I hear music play
Whenever I am alone and music is playing, I am reminded of you

When I reach for the phone
When I go to make a call

Why does everything good
Why is it that everything positive

Make me think of you baby
Reminds me of you, my love

Every now and then
Occasionally

I find myself wondering about you baby
I catch myself thinking about you

Seems now and again
It appears that every once in a while

I can't escape the thought of all that might have been
I can't help but think about the future we could have had together

Every now and then
Occasionally

I find myself wondering about you baby
I catch myself thinking about you

Seems now and again
It appears that every once in a while

I can't escape the thought of all that might have been
I can't help but think about the future we could have had together
