In the whole wide world
Is the word sometimes.

Is the word sometimes.

Sometimes your ship sets sail
without you on board.

and wish I wasn't here.
Sometimes I know you wouldn't
miss me if I was gone.

In the whole wide world
Is the word sometimes.

Is the word sometimes.

and all there is has been said.

assures you of your path.
Sometimes a warm summer sunset
promises you another tomorrow.
