Sometimes from Altars by Spencer LaJoye

They sing it like they're really happy
They sing it like they're really free
They sing it like they are a sparrow
They sing like they believe

Sometimes it's hard to hear you
Sometimes it's hard to remember to want to
Sometimes it's hard to fall apart in your arms
When I'd rather not at all

Sometimes I think I'll never know
Sometimes I think that I knew it too long ago
Sometimes I think that if I blink, I will sink
but that can't be bad, I think

Will you take my sometimes?
Take them every time
and make them into something you can take?

Sometimes I change my mind a lot
Sometimes I change the foundations of every thought
Sometimes I change to take the pain and arrange it
into something I can take

Wish I could sing it 'cause I'm happy
Wish I could sing it 'cause I'm free
Wish I could sing it like a sparrow
and sing like I believe

Will you take my sometimes?
Take them every time
and make them into something you can take?

Will you take my sometimes?
Take them every time
and make them into something I can take?
