Sometimes

Blind Melon · Introducing James Brown [2010]

There's a price you will pay when you're on top of the world

Oh, when everyone wants to be your friend or companion

There's a fine line between your own heaven and hell

Oh, when everything goes your way, you still feel abandoned



Sometimes, nothing's better than something

Sometimes, you're better off lonely



Why is it when times are good, everyone sticks around

But when things start to go the other way,

They split and forget you

My own philosophy has been good to me

I try to stay to myself and don't get caught in the shit storm



Sometimes, nothing's better than something

Sometimes, you're better off lonely

And my airplane is taking off slowly



Most of the time I really don't mind

It's pointless to waste all of my time thinking about this shit

I spend most of my days trying to unwind and forget about it



I still worry if you're ok

I still wonder if you're the same
