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 I 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 it 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
