Every now and then
She gets afraid again
Oh, uh oh
Every now and then
She gets delayed again
Oh, uh oh
Every now and then
She gets a little bit scared
But when she turns around
There’s never anybody there
Every now and then
She gets afraid again
Oh, uh oh
And the fear that they left in you
Infected me it’s true
And now I am a carrier, too
Every now and then
She gets afraid again
Oh, uh oh
Every now and then
She gets delayed again
Oh, uh oh
Every now and then
She gets a little bit scared
But when she turns around
There’s never anybody there
Every now and then
She gets afraid again
Oh, uh oh
And the fear that they left in you
Infected me it’s true
And now I am a carrier, too
But you’ve always believed in me
And I’ll always believe in you
What else are we supposed to do?
You have always relied on me
To be the one you run to
Cuz no one else knows
All the pain and shame you’ve absorbed
And I don’t know if there’s anyone there
Who can answer your prayers
But I know
I’ll be there to always answer the phone
Even when your tone
Is a needle in my bone
(J. Northrup)
