Almost Always / Quasi sempre
Lately I been thinkin' 'bout the changing world
Tryin' to fit in pieces of dreams
Just tryin' to add it up, figure out what it means
When a lost planet comes tumbling home
Does it have to have a beer to break free from what is here
And continue to pick up those pieces of dreams?
And I'm livin' with a game show host
Who has to brag and has to boast
'Bout tearin' down the things that I hold dear
While the day is with us and the birds are near
Singin' in the sun, baskin' in its light
Has it just risen through the fogs of fear?
Can I take a minute to do what's right?
Before that starts me thinkin', distractin' me again
Do I have something to say?
Maybe just a feelin' that things are bound to change
Or just that crazy searchlight, lightin' someone's way
I'm not gonna work it out right here and right now
I got some things to do, got some calls to make
Hear that crazy little bird callin' out its song
Standin' out on a limb almost too long?
Singin' out to his mate, she answers every time
She answers every time
Every time
Almost always

Ultimamente ho riflettuto sul mondo che cambia
Provando a riconciliare frammenti di sogni
Cercando di tirare le somme, capire ciò che significa
Quando un pianeta perduto torna a casa precipitando
Deve farsi una birra per fuggire da ciò che c'è qui
E continuare a raccogliere quei frammenti di sogni?
E sto vivendo con l'ospite di un quiz televisivo
Che deve pavoneggiarsi e vantarsi
Di distruggere le cose che a me stanno a cuore
Mentre è giorno e gli uccelli sono vicini
Cantando al sole, crogiolandosi nella sua luce
È già sorto in mezzo alle nebbie della paura?
Posso prendermi un minuto per fare ciò che è giusto?
Prima che mi metta a pensare, a distrarmi di nuovo
Ho qualcosa da dire?
Forse solo la sensazione che le cose sono destinate a cambiare
O solo quel faro matto che illumina la strada a qualcuno
Non arriverò a niente, qui, oggi
Ho delle cose e delle telefonate da fare
Lo senti quel piccolo, matto uccellino che intona la sua canzone
In piedi sul ramo forse troppo a lungo?
Canta alla sua compagna, lei risponde tutte le volte
Lei risponde tutte le volte
Tutte le volte
Quasi sempre
