Sometimes It Be That Way

歌手：jewel

Night with its shattered teeth

Attempts to speak

My pen is present but

Courage left via the sink

And I'm sorry

I snuck up on you

From behind

I'm sorry not all

My love letters did rhyme

And I'm sorry that

Jesus died for my sins

And I swear to God

It won't happen again

And I'm sorry

If it was my swerve 1 that

Tempted 2 you to sway

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

And Romeo was

A very nice man

He said

"Jewel, I don't think

You quite understand"

And I'm sorry if you had

To explain it like this

I'm sorry I was a point

You were destined 3 to miss

And I'm sorry

I spoke 4 to you irreverently

Down in the hollow

By the old olive tree

And I'm sorry

If my heart breaking

Ruined your day

Oh well

Sometimes It be that way

I said

"Oh well, I got nothing

Left to sell

This love was a bell that

Rang unheard in the air

Jewel

I was bound to find out

That you didn't care

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

And Aphrodite with

Her neon lamp

Kissed Neptune 5

They put her face

On a stamp

And I'm sorry

I used it to mail

A letter to you

I'm sorry I'm glue and

The rest bounces off of you

And I'm sorry not even

This jet's metal wings

Could get across

These simple things

And I'm sorry

If I ever sang

Your name in vain

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

And Goldilocks

Well she knew three bears

They all ate oatmeal

And tiptoed upstairs

And I'm sorry

I never got to

Find you like this

Sleeping like a baby

And swaddled in bliss 6

And I'm sorry for

All the times

I forgot to imply something

In between the lines

And I'm sorry

If my heart breaking

Ruined your day

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

I said

Left to sell

This love was a bell that

Rang unheard in the air

I was bound to find out

That you didn't care

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

And shadow's long fingers

They dance on the wall

Electricity chases

Its tail in the hall

And I'm sorry

If my arms to you

Were just empty rooms

I'm sorry

I never could comfort you

And I'm sorry

St. Petersburg is

A miserable town

And I'm sorry

If I am bringing you down

And I'm sorry

If I caused you pain

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way

And flame licks the air

With its silver tongue

Night has many hands

But I have just one

And I'm sorry

I walked in on you

Unexpectedly

I'm sorry

I never served you

Camomile tea

And I'm sorry

I didn't always have a match

That could start

A fire big enough

For your heart to catch

And I'm sorry

If it was my swerve that

Tempted you to sway

Oh well

Sometimes it be that way
