If it's not one thing, it's another
Dedicated to izettl
Step on the gas, stop on a dime
Another day that challenges time
Bearing a load enough to smother
If it's not one thing, it's another
=======================
Clock alarms its partner in crime
Out of bed refutes the sublime
Destiny challenges the earth mother
If it's not one thing, it's another
=======================
Phone sings with the doorbell chime
Bliss slips a rate of less than subprime
Minutes tick off that you can't recover
If it's not one thing, it's another
=======================
Clean a skinned knee of playground grime
Settling down with a nursery rhyme
Girl interrupted by her baby brother
If it's not one thing, it's another
=======================
Days meld to years in a steady climb
Banking the love you gather in prime
In a life you'd trade for no other
Though, if it's not one thing, it's another
=============================
