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
