You Can't Ever Tell
Unpredictable Journeys: Embracing Life's Twists in 'You Can't Ever Tell'
Lyrics
You can't ever tell
You cannot predict or foresee.
That's what the old man would say
A phrase the old man often said.
It don't matter who you are, you know
Regardless of your identity.
You might be a big star
You may achieve fame.
But you still might go crazy someday
Even if successful, there's a risk of losing mental stability.
You might wanna cut loose
You might want to have fun.
You might kick off your ol' boots
You might relax.
You might let down your hair
You might let go of inhibitions.
But now they're coming in pairs
Now dealing with multiple challenges.
And they just might put you in a suit
Challenges might force a formal change.
You just can't ever tell
The future is unpredictable.
Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow
Hope for a better feeling tomorrow.
Maybe I'll have no regrets
Optimism about avoiding regrets.
But I just, I just don't know yet
Uncertain about current emotional state.
You just can't ever tell
The future remains uncertain.
Ain't no one that's perfect, but I know when it's worth it
No one is flawless, but recognizing value.
(Oh well) You just can't ever tell
Accepting the unpredictable nature of life.
Say I will, but I won't
Promises may not be kept.
Say you love me, but you don't
Expressions of love may be insincere.
Say you're being sincere but maybe this time next year
Assurances might not hold true in the future.
It'll be different, (it's) different I know
Change is inevitable, but its nature is unknown.
You just can't ever tell
Life's uncertainties persist.
