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, it's 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

And when I come back down, tie my 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
