About “Sometimes”
This is a mid-life crisis song that still rings true some twenty years later.
You know how Sometimes you sit and think about things? I was starting to see
how things Sometimes came together in my life and thought it needed a song.
The first two verses and chorus came to me almost immediately. It took more than
ten years to write the third verse and I have my friend Raymond Sipek to thank for
that gift. Ray was visiting us on a Friday night as he Sometimes does and beer
was going down smoothly. I was working on this song and told Ray about my
desire to have another verse for the song.
After listening for a while, Ray started verse three and helped me write the entire
verse! It was such a gift; I am still grateful for that moment when we were together
in the creative zone! Ray is a very creative guy. Thanks again, Ray!

Lyrics
Sometimes

Sometimes things seem to go badly
Sometimes things seem to go well
Sometimes it feels like we’re in heaven
Sometimes it feels like we’re living in hell
Sometimes I wish that you were loving me
Sometimes I wish I was alone
Sometimes I wish that I was free
Sometimes I’m glad I got your love at home
Baby what’s going on? What happened to that old love we had?
Lately something is wrong and it’s got us both feeling bad
Sometimes I know where our love is going
Sometimes I think we’re doing it right
Sometimes I see our life’s the way it should be
But Sometimes our life is a terrible sight
Baby what’s going on? What happened to that old love we had?
Lately something is wrong and it’s got us both feeling bad
Sometimes things seem to go badly
Sometimes things seem to go well
Sometimes it feels like we’re in heaven
Sometimes it feels like we’re living in hell
Sometimes things seem to go badly
Sometimes things seem to go well
Sometimes it feels like we’re in heaven
Sometimes it feels like we’re living in hell
Sometimes it feels like we’re living in hell
Sometimes it feels like we’re living in hell
Living in hell
