lyrics

The outlook’s grim
That’s what they’re saying.
Chance will never favor us again.

The story’s told
The ending written
Where we’re going’s only where we’ve been.

There’s nothing we can do.
So, don’t even bother trying

There’s no excuse
No explanation
Nothing makes sense, and then:

Sometimes, I listen closely
Sometimes I can hear
Sometimes, when the noise is loudest
Sometimes something’s near.

Sometimes, I change my focus
Sometimes I can see
Sometimes, when we least expect it
Something better can be.

So, don’t look up
Just keep it down.
Keep doing what you’re supposed to do.

It’s been decided
The verdict given
The battle lost before it started.

How will we find
On old paper peeling from the walls
Stained and disfigured, a witness we’ll never know.

What can we do
Through cracked windows and broken pipes
Used up before, but this home is ours.

Sometimes.

Sometimes, when it’s darkest
Sometimes, I close my eyes.
Sometimes, there’s an exception
Sometimes I realize.

Sometimes, you get me thinking
Sometimes there’s a sign
Sometimes, we should demand it
Something yours and mine.
