Sometimes Lyrics - For My Friends - Blind Melon

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 

Oh, and 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 

Oh, and 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 okay, I still wonder if you're the same 

Remember when times were good and so simple minded 

And then somewhere along the way we lost all connections 

When you strip away all that's left is a guilty conscience 

If I took a guess I would bet you'd think this song is about you 

Don't ya, don't ya, don't ya? 

Sometimes nothing's better than something 

Oh, and sometimes you're better off lonely 

My heart is stranded and frozen 

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 okay, I still wonder if you're the same
