Sometimes It Be That Way

Jewel

night with its shattered teeth attempts to speak / my pen is present but courage left via the sink / and i'm sorry i snuck up on you from behind / i'm sorry not all my love letters did rhyme / and i'm sorry that jesus died for my sins / and i swear to god it won't happen again / and i'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway / oh well, sometimes it be that way

and romeo was a very nice man / he said "jewel, i don't think you quite understand." / and i'm sorry if you had to explain it like this / i'm sorry i was a point you were destined to miss / and i'm sorry I spoke to you irreverently / down in the hollow by the old olive tree / and i'm sorry if my heart breaking ruined your day /oh well, sometimes it be that way

i said, "oh well, i got nothing left to sell." / this love was a bell that rang unheard in the air / i was bound to find out that you didn't care / oh well, sometimes it be that way

and aphrodite with her neon lamp / kissed neptune, they put her face on a stamp / and i'm sorry i used it to mail a letter to you / i'm sorry i'm glue and the rest bounces off of you / and i'm sorry not even this jet's metal wings / could get across these simple things / and i'm sorry if i ever sang your name in vain / oh well, sometimes it be that way

and goldilocks, well she knew three bears / they all ate oatmeal and tiptoed upstairs / and i'm sorry I never got to find you like this / sleeping like a baby and swaddled in bliss / and i'm sorry for all the times i forgot to imply / something in between the lines / and i'm sorry if i ever caused you pain / oh well, sometimes it be that way

i said, "oh well, i got nothing left to sell." / this love was a bell that rang unheard in the air / i was bound to find out that you didn't care / oh well, sometimes it be that way

and shadow's long fingers they dance on the wall / electricity chases its tail in the hall / and i'm sorry my arms to you were just empty rooms / i'm sorry i never could comfort you / and i'm sorry st. petersburg is a miserable town / and i'm sorry if i am bringing you down / and i'm sorry if it was my love that rained on your parade / oh well, sometimes it be that way

and flame licks the air with its silver tongue / night has many hands but i have just one / and i'm sorry i walked in on you unexpectedly / i'm sorry i never served you chamomile tea / and i'm sorry i didn't always have a match / that could start a fire big enough for your heart to catch / and i'm sorry if it was my swerve that tempted you to sway / oh well, sometimes it be that way
