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 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 shadow´s long fingers
They dance on the wall
Electricity chases
Its tail in the hall
And I´m sorry
If 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 I caused you pain
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
Camomile 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
