Okkervil River - All the Time Every Day [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

Do you stop and stare, struck down as shaken, washed
By this constant, panicked wishing for what's lost
As you're standing on some curb waiting to cross
Would you say you feel like some weak leaf wind-turned and tossed?
All the time, every day, every day, all the time, all the time
Every day, every day
T'
As the streets sail by the seats inside your car
Does each face outside collide against your heart
As you watch the blaze and fade it into the dark
Do you wanna scream that you're so pleased with who they are

Every day, all the time, all the time, every day, every day
All the time, every day

When that moment arrives, oh that sweet and tender pain
Do you think how there'll come a time when you'll never feel it again?
Do you try to make it right by thinking that if someone else feels it
It's real and it won't go away? Do you?

Do you fall so short of all that's in your heart?
When your friends who you should put up, you instead pick apart?
Do you watch the world get cold and crushed and small?
And when you could do so much you do fuck all?

All the time, every day, every day, all the time, all the time
Every day, every day

And considering all this and agreeing that it's true
Is it hard each time just to feel something new?
But do you sometimes wish not to feel anymore?
To wall it off? To make it all go away?
Any day, any time, all the way

When you pray for grace to come
Were you born yesterday, are you dumb? Are you insane?
Don't be ashamed I'm the same
Yeah, I'm that way
But I try every day and all the time
