Lizzy Hilliard - Sometimes Lyrics

Sometimes I just want to drive with you till we hit sea
It's those times in the car that I feel like you're closest to me
Cause the truth is, regardless of where, to or from
It Had to Be You is our lighthearted hum
I'm your traveling buddy from Boston to New York to Maine
It's the staying awake that's the key

Sometimes I want you to shop with me till we're all broke
But then I get upset and I eat back the words that I spoke
And the truth is, I looked in the mirror and found
That the girl I saw, I never wanted around
But you ask me to open my eyes to the woman I am
And the beauty you see makes me choke

Sometimes I eat a great meal and my thoughts are a whir
I think, gee, that was good, but it would've been better with her
Cause the truth is, it's all mostly fine, here and there
But without you to share, well the cheesecake is bare
You make excellent cookies, but that isn't all that you do
You're what makes my life start to stir

Sometimes I call you and I have nothing to say
It's funny how we can have full conversations that way
But the truth is, I wanted no other sweet song
Than my momma's voice, it had felt like too long
Though really I'd only hung up several hours before
You're just so many hours away

Sometimes I hate you and I can't forget what I said
But the echoes of guilt reminisce in the back of my head
Cause the truth is, I never could hate my best friend
You showed up at my birth, you'll be here till the end
I guess I just say things before I make sense of the words
And I won't get it right till I'm dead

Sometimes I think of your face and my eyes start to cry
It's weird how your brain can make memories so easy to buy
But the truth is, it almost takes nothing at all
It's your closeness to me that makes me start to bawl
I just miss you so much, almost anything leads me to you
Calamari, a reuben on rye

Sometimes I don't really think and you pull me aside
You say, hey this weird thing that you're doing is bad for your pride
And the truth is, I never believe you at first
But soon I decide that my way is the worst
So I'm asking you - help me out when I don't know what to do
You know I'm all jello inside

Sometimes I have to grow up and I miss every day
When you'd hold me at night and say, hey, it'll all be okay
And the truth is that "I love you, Lord" even still
Is the song that I want when my life goes downhill
I hope that this song will suffice to fill up every hole
I wish I was able to stay

Sometimes I try to explain what you are in a phrase
But the effort it takes is a journey that goes on for days
Cause the truth is, you're more than I'll ever explain
You've endured so much loss, so much struggle and pain
Where you lead, I'll follow, through and through
You're you in all of your ways
