Crawling Lyrics
Things are different on my block,
I don’t know if you heard about
How these folks are living
And I can’t help you out.
It seems to be your fault again.
What you said got you runnin round.
The demon entered your enenmies,
You’ll pay when you slow down.
Ooooh, I feel for you.
So take your time.
You’re crawlin’
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
Times are changin’
You know that.
God knows what you were thinking of.
Everybody’s watchin, they can’t destroy you enough.
I try to figure out (figure out)
The rules of this automatic game.
The streets have got your number,
You don’t remember your name.
Ooooh, I feel for you.
So take your time.
You’re crawlin’
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
I can’t let this carry on
The shadows wont cover your regrets.
They told you bout this avenue,
I bet you wont forget. (you wont forget)
Ooooh, I feel for you.
So take your time.
You’re crawlin’
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
Oooh..i feel for you.
So take your time.
I don’t know if you heard about
How these folks are living
And I can’t help you out.
What you said got you runnin round.
The demon entered your enenmies,
You’ll pay when you slow down.
So take your time.
You’re crawlin’
Things can only get better, Boy
Your life can shine in front of you.
It catches up with all of us
On certain afternoons.
You know that.
God knows what you were thinking of.
Everybody’s watchin, they can’t destroy you enough.
I try to figure out (figure out)

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
when you feel like you are in a situation in your life that seems to have you in an inescapable spot. you can't get out & it looks grim.
i don't know if thats what its about, but i do love this song! so smooth & laid back.
thank god at least one site has the line "...on certain afternoons" right. Every other freakin' lyrics site imagineable has it as "i'm certain after you". WTF? You'd have to be legally deaf to hear that.
That's a really great song. The artist is telling people that are losing hope and feel like they can't go on anymore to just hang on no matter what because "Things will get better, boy" and he's saying "It catches up with all of us on certain afternoons" which showes the artist also is going through a hard time, but he's strong so he'll hang and get through it even if he has to crawl he'll never stop moving to try and get through it. And Steve99 is right, what kind of idiot gets the line "I'm certain after you" out of this song, that doesn't even make sense.
lovely song :) and i love the movie laurel canyon..this is in the soundtrack. good song for a good movie.
