Cover art for Something's Always Wrong lyrics by Toad the Wet Sprocket

To me this song has always been about how timing can really suck in life and how people push the important things in life aside for things that in the big picture are probably less important. For instance you meet a great girl but your are both in big transition points in your life and you really don't feel like you should be dating so you push it aside.
