Sometimes

On a sunny day, I wake up

And the light drains in

And automatically, I reach out

And I feel the warm weight on my fingers

Yellow with the strain, I guess, I let up

Kick the rubble on the eightfold

See myself (Am I dreaming again?)

'Cause it feels like

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)

But sometimes I'm lonely

And the only things I care about

Fall apart like macaroni

Only for today

I let it fall away and come down

Let it dress me up

And as I knew it would, there's no doubt

Just a troubadour tied to my mooring

Staring at my chains again, they're cut off

But I won't get out

I see myself as a marionette, yeah, it feels like

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)

(Banging my drum, blow the fife)

(Circle the pain all night)

But sometimes I'm lonely

And the stupid things I think about

Call my name, seems like I'm only

Waiting for today

You can live your life this way, it's true

While the old folk pray for tomorrow

I'm waiting for today

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)

(All my life, I've been so sure I'm alright)
