Everything is Happening Today Lyrics
I wake up
My eyes are playing tricks on me
And through the dust
So much of my life has already come to be
So I watch the sun go up
And I watch the sun go down
And the horizon hovering like a missing piece
That can never be found
And as the seasons lie in wait
Like a secret you already know
Winter is behind us now
It is ahead of us also
And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today
And I believe
That you could love me
Just because
But I remain as fragile as I ever was
So if here is really there
And if you are really mine
My fear, it is a circle
My joy, it is the infinite line
My eyes are playing tricks on me
And through the dust
So much of my life has already come to be
So I watch the sun go up
And I watch the sun go down
And the horizon hovering like a missing piece
That can never be found
And as the seasons lie in wait
Like a secret you already know
Winter is behind us now
It is ahead of us also
And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today
And I believe
That you could love me
Just because
But I remain as fragile as I ever was
So if here is really there
And if you are really mine
My fear, it is a circle
My joy, it is the infinite line
But the limits of words were with us
Since we learned to talk
So I give my longing a name
And I hold its hand and take a walk
And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today
Since we learned to talk
So I give my longing a name
And I hold its hand and take a walk
And everything that ever was is happening today
Everything I’ve ever done has happened in the wrong way
Pull the thread and draw the line to find time in a different place
Everything that ever was is happening today

What did Flock of Dimes say about "Everything is Happening Today"?
Genius Answer
“This song is about that split-second feeling that happens that first day that you feel the seasons changing —when summer turns into fall, for example. There’s always a moment on that day where time melts and previously buried memories are unlocked — where every autumn day that I’ve ever experienced is suddenly present and available at my fingertips. Does this happen to everyone?”
