sometimes

siphon off a little silence
in a day of endless hustle
guide your hand to touch me
on a morning like most others
lose a little violent feelings
with a smile spent on life
and find your way out my bedroom door

sometimes that's all there is
sometimes that's all we have
sometimes it's time that sums us up
sometimes we've nothing left but laughs

strike the pavement with your step
on your lazy way to work again
switch on your Bluetooth once again
with practiced efficiency
snag a coffee from the cute barista on the corner
as you daydream what's ahead
and find your way into your office door

sometimes that's all there is
sometimes that's all we have
sometimes it's time that sums us up
sometimes we've nothing left but laughs

evening rises in the west, white kisses on your skin
in your own room, own home, own retreat
where you're conscious you're finally alone
with a smile you play through your highlight reel
years of playin, dodgin, winnin, lovin everyone
familiar emptiness that needs to be filled again

sometimes that's all there is
sometimes that's al we have
sometimes it's time that sums us up
sometimes we've nothing left but laughs

i hear you voice, near a whisper it seems
as i settle down in bed
and the clock is ticking ominously
but i can't work out the rest
and you say i should come over
and you say you miss my laugh
and i say you shouldn't ever have left
if you were gonna want me back
i can hear your breath take suddenly
as i hang up on the past
i can hear my heart beat slower
as i smile in the dark and laugh

sometimes that's all there is
sometimes that's all we have
sometimes it's time that sums us up
sometimes you move on at last
