Sometimes

Sometimes I hide it when I'm high Sometimes I waste away the whole damn afternoon Like a diamond in the sky I get a twinkle in my eye When I float away from you Take me out to the trees Let me dance under the leaves And get real stoned Take me further than I've been Wrap me up in all my sin And leave me alone I know it might be grim But I just can't let you in So I hide it when I'm high Sometimes I run away from you It ain't what I aim to do Like a heart with broken bones Or a good punch in the nose I'm painted black and blue When the dark and stormy seas Reach my ankles and my knees I get knocked down When the birds and the bees Both decide it's time to leave I spin right out One day I won't be found And I'll wish that you were 'round But I run away from you Just between you and me There's no place I'd rather be Than back at home Though the grass ain't always green It's fine with me, its what it is, it's what I know And what I know is when the wind starts to blow I'm gonna love you so When I come back down Tie me ankles to the ground Tell me I don't have to go Sometimes I hide it when I'm high And I waste away the whole damn afternoon
