Just Can't Win
No matter how I try each day to get beyond the worst of things, nothing ever goes the way it's planned.
And when I want to get ahead in anything I have to do, I never seem to get the upper hand.
When everything you say is wrong
When no one seems to get along,
You try to go a different way but no one wants to know...
Why do I have to give so much when nothing comes back in return
Unless it's something coming down on me.
And everything I say is wrong
And all the days are growing long
I always put my best foot out with nothing left to show...
Still everything you say is wrong and no one seems to get along
You try to go a different way but no one wants to know...
Now even as the sun goes down, there's so much there that's incomplete
No matter how I try I just can't win...

"This was a really fun song to do. I am not a good drummer, but I really like the breaks throughout the track. I started with the drum track and then added a rythm guitar and started to layer from there, not really knowing where it would end up. In a way, it is kind of a re-write of 'Clear Blue Sky', one of my older songs, and is a little trippy. While 'Clear Blue Sky' is a song about hope, this one is pretty much the oppostie. It was just me venting my frusrtation on day to day stuff. I just can't seem to get a head of my to-do list and just when you think you've made headway, it all turns around!".
