Best Answer
Your first example isn't common usage and isn't grammatical in most settings.
"be" here as a bare infinitive is wrong; it should be conjugated. You have a few options. All of the options are past tense, and only vary based on their grammatical mood
Subjunctive mood:
This is probably the one I would go for in most situations.
"The subjunctive mood is used to express a wish or possible situation that is currently not true." [Source]
Indicative Mood:
This is probably quite common among most native speakers. However it's technically incorrect, this is discussed in more detail in this question.
Conditional Mood:
This is what you have used in your second example. However, I'd consider substituting "would" for "could".
"everyday" means commonplace, plain, unremarkable
"every day" means that something happens... well... every day.
