Always and Never
Zac Brown Lyrics

When tomorrow comes along
Asking if the future will be like the past

Will we feel like yesterday?
Will we have the same feelings we had before?

Will the sun rise on my face?
Will I be happy and optimistic in the future?

When the night comes falling down
When dark times come

Will the stars be enough light
Will I have enough guidance and hope in difficult times?

To guide us through eternity?
To help us make it through the rest of our lives

Always and never
Two opposing ideas that can't exist simultaneously

Could always be better
Things can always improve

I'm always on my own
Feeling alone and unsupported

You never keep me long
Partnership in the past didn't last

Try to hold it all together
Struggling to keep things from falling apart

Feels like I've always known you
A sense of familiarity with a person

But I never know for sure
Uncertainty about the future with the person

Only time will tell what will remain
Only the future will reveal what will last

I'm always dreaming of never losing you
Worried about losing the connection with a loved one

Only want to wake up next to you
Desiring a committed, long-term relationship

Forever's impossible, we all fade away
The inevitability of death and the end of relationships

Never want to be a burden
Not wanting to be a source of stress or difficulty

Never want to be uncertain
Preferring clarity and stability in relationships

I always need you crazy
An intense, passionate connection

When tomorrow comes along
Repeating the opening line to emphasize its importance

Will we feel like yesterday?
Repeating the same question to create a sense of uncertainty

Will the sun rise on my face?
Repeating the same question to show the importance of emotional well-being
