Lyrics
[Intro]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
[verse 1]
Day by day
Life feels worse without you near me
Still I feel
I barely knew you at all
Started way too early somehow
Found out way too late to call
Who would've ever guessed it
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
[verse 2]
Coffee tastes like broken promises
Songs are acting way too sad
Even my poor little goldfish
Looks at me like I've gone mad
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
[bridge]
Found out way too late completely
How easy things disappear
Stuff that used to stand beside me
Who would've ever guessed it
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
[outro]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
[verse 1]
Day by day
Life feels worse without you near me
Still I feel
I barely knew you at all
Started way too early somehow
Found out way too late to call
Who would've ever guessed it
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
[verse 2]
Coffee tastes like broken promises
Songs are acting way too sad
Even my poor little goldfish
Looks at me like I've gone mad
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
[bridge]
Found out way too late completely
How easy things disappear
Stuff that used to stand beside me
Who would've ever guessed it
[chorus]
Night by night the tears roll down
Step by step the clock runs fast
Who designed this crazy business
Who thought this was built to last
Day by day
I keep missing you much harder
Who would've ever guessed it
