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
