Jewel - Sometimes It Be That Way Lyrics
Night with its shattered teeth attempts to speakMy pen is present but courage left via the sinkAnd Im sorry I snuck up on you from behindIm sorry not all my love letters did rhymeAnd Im sorry that jesus died for my sinsAnd I swear to God it wont happen againAnd Im sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to swayOh well, sometimes it be that wayAnd romeo was a very nice manHe said jewel, I dont think you quite understand *And Im sorry if you had to explain it like thisIm sorry I was a point you were destined to missAnd Im sorry I spoke to you irreverentlyDown in the hollow by the old olive treeAnd Im sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day **Oh well, sometimes it be that wayChorus:I said oh well, I got nothing left to sellThis love was a bell that rang unheard in the airI was bound to find out that you didnt careOh well, sometimes it be that wayAnd aphrodite with her neon lampKissed neptune they put her face on a stampAnd Im sorry I used it to mail a letter to youIm sorry Im glue and the rest bounces off of youAnd Im sorry not even this jets metal wingsCould get across these simple thingsAnd Im sorry if I ever sang your name in vainOh well, sometimes it be that wayAnd goldilocks, well she knew three bearsThey all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairsAnd Im sorry I never got to find you like thisSleeping like a baby and swaddled in blissAnd Im sorry for all the timesI forgot to imply something in between the linesAnd Im sorry if my heart breaking ruined your dayOh well, sometimes it be that wayChorus:I said oh well, I got nothing left to sellThis love was a bell that rang unheard in the airI was bound to find out that you didnt careOh well, sometimes it be that wayAnd shadows long fingers they dance on the wallElectricity chases its tail in the hallAnd Im sorry if my arms to you were just empty roomsIm sorry I never could comfort youAnd Im sorry st. petersburg is a miserable townAnd Im sorry if I am bringing you downAnd Im sorry if I caused you painOh well, sometimes it be that wayAnd flame licks the air with its silver tongueNight has many hands but I have just oneAnd Im sorry I walked in on you unexpectedlyIm sorry I never served you camomile teaAnd Im sorry I didnt always have a matchThat could start a fire big enough for your heart to catchAnd Im sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to swayOh well, sometimes it be that way* originally, she used sweetheart instead of jewel (neal c.)** this line, in several stanzas, seems to have gone throughMany incarnations. (neal c., kim, steve i.)And Im sorry if my heart breaking ruined your dayAnd Im sorry if it was my heart breaking that ruined your paradeAnd Im sorry if it was my love that rained on your paradeAnd Im sorry if my love ruined your dayAnd Im sorry if I was just a game you didnt always want to playAnd Im sorry if it was I that caused you painAnd Im sorry if I ever caused you painAnd Im sorry if I ever sang your name in vainTranscribed by kimCorrections by neal copperman, jeff hanson, & steve ito
