lyrics

Sitting on the porch up in Albion
Kicking back with the music on
There was a storm brew-hooing
Coffee cup with the tea a' stewing

But the moment was only skin deep
Relentless tug of the office creep
Pulling the balance off
She couldn't feel the rain fall

Sometimes I'm lifting off and
Sometimes the bell starts ringing on
Sometimes I miss you when you're gone

Sometimes the air is too thin
Sometimes the static gets so deep
Sometimes I hurt you when it's wrong
When it's wrong

Got to get back from the missing
Back to all the weights in need of lifting
A big figure eight we keep slogging
Every day we're back again groundhogging

The water looks bluer than blue
Listen to the workplace ballyhoo
It only hurts when you hit landfall
Sometimes she couldn't even feel the rain at all

Sometimes I'm lifting off and
Sometimes the bell starts ringing on
I always I miss you when you're gone

Sometimes the air is too thin
Sometimes the static gets so deep
Sometimes I hurt you when it's wrong
When it's wrong

It's like breathing out
(Sometimes I'm breathing in)
